I don't wanna talk 'cause it'll only hurt more.
I don't wanna bring it up again 'cause it hurt like hell before.
You know me too well.

You make my head spin and I'll just say something wrong.
You pull me out of my shell and then hate me when I'm done.
But if the rain keeps falling and you can't see the tears in my eyes.

They say the night is daunting although you'll need somewhere to hide.

So it could be better if I kept it to myself.

It could be better if I left it on the shelf.
Before I go and say something I don't mean.
It could be better if I kept it to myself.


Let's swipe this slate clean and I'll bottle it up again.
It's just how I've always been.

Even without you.
'Cause if the rain stops falling and you start to see the tears in my eyes.
And if the night stops calling and we won't have somewhere to hide.


So it could be better if I kept it to myself.
It could be better if I left it on a shelf.

Before I go and say something I don't mean.
It could be better if I kept it to myself.


I'd rather forget then have to forgive.
I'd rather lose it then live with this memory.
Don't wanna accept the things that ya did.

I try not to show it but you know it hurts me.

I'd rather forget then have to forgive.

I'd rather lose it then leave with this memory.
Don't wanna accept the things that ya did.
'Cause you know it hurts me yeah yeah...


Before I go and say something I don't mean. (2x)
It could be better if I kept it to myself.

It could be better if I left it on a shelf.
Before I go and say something I don't mean.
It could be better if I kept it to myself.
