Leave It Lie

So this is where we leave it lie This is where the tender words and flames of passion go to die In dust and ashes blowing by and by This is where we leave it, leave it lie So this is how it finally ends This is how it finally ends This is how we come to pass, no longer lovers, no longer friends I can't believe how long we played pretend If this is how it ends, just let it end With you in your world, me in mine, we try to leave it all behind us now It never should have happened, we both know it No one here got out alive, and everybody shows it So this is how our lives go on This is how the lying ends, the games we played, the things done wrong Being where we don't belong Far too late to walk away, but life goes on With you in your world, me in mine, and all the wreckage left behind us now It never should have happened, we both know it No one here got out alive and everybody shows it I see it all so clearly now Too many welcomes overstayed, too many changes never made Too high a price forever paid, for what I just don't know Cause every day we died one more death And I don't believe we're finished yet The wounds still weep, the blood still fresh and bitter So bitter, baby So this is where we leave it lie This is how we start again pretending that we've never died Waiting for the time to fly, knowing that we can't deny That this is where we leave it... And it's so hard to believe that... This is where we leave it lie.
