You get the summons I'll pay the fine
I know my place you can take your time
You take the high road, I'll take the blame
Or take me in your arms, 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 needed less, you wanted more
I shuffled my feet you slammed the door
I was just happy to sit and sing
Oh but darling, you wanted everything
Oh…
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't keep me warm at night
So you go your way I'll go mine
I know you're hurtin', but you'll be just fine
Oh…
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
Let it lie
Let it lie
