You get the summons, I'll pay the fine
I know my place you can take your time
You take the high road and I'll take the blame
Or take me in your arms ‘cause it's all the same
I may never see dear
Or say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
But if you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone, and let it lie
Let it lie
I wanted less, you needed more
I shuffled my feet but you slammed the door
I was just happy to sit and sing
Oh my darling, you wanted everything
(ohh)
I may never see dear
Or say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
But if you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone, and let it lie
Let it lie
You say I'm selfish, that may be right
And that my songs can keep me warm at night
You go your way and I'll go mine
I know you’re hurtin’ but you'll be just fine
(Ohh)
I may never see dear
Or say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
If you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone, and let it lie
Let it lie
Let it lie
Let it lie
(Mmm)
Let it lie
