Let It Lie

You get the summons, I'll feel fine
I know my place, you can take your time
You take the high road and I'll take the blame
But take me in your arms 'cause it's all the same

I may never see you, dear
Or say the words you wanna 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 while you slammed the door
But I was just happy to sit and sing, oh
Oh, my darling, you wanted everything
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I may never see you, dear
Or say the words you wanna 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
That my songs can keep me warm at night
But you go your way and I'll go mine
I know you're hurting, but you'll be just fine
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I may never see you, dear
Or say the words you wanna 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, darling
Let it lie, mm
Let it lie
