I never told a lie i didn't wish was true She loves me like she's clinging to her life The future's a phone call from the grandchildren's room She loves being a mother, and she's an excellent wife But the silence finds truth between every word I threw my phone in the road in the busiest lane Cause it calls you by habit when i got nothin' to say And it won't let me pick up if it isn't your name And even if it did, what would i talk about anyway? Cause my secrets are told by the silence i keep The whole world's on mute; only your words repeat I won't ever want you back It takes two and i won't dance Like you were taking out the trash Turning now into the past My brain knows the pain i'm about to endure So i'm stumbling through the day like i don't know my left from the ground It's like time is a surgeon and i'm under the knife And i'm not allowed to think til you're removed and i'm found But those phantom pains ache like i'm losing a limb When i reach out to touch you, you're just touching him I won't ever want you back It takes two and i won't dance Like you were taking out the trash Turning now into the past I won't ever want you back Keep my heart and keep my past And die alone from living fast Three more lies i wish were fact
