It Could Be Better

I don't wanna talk
'Cause it will 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 gone

But if the rain keeps falling
And you can't see the tears in my eyes
They say the night is daunting
But we all 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 wipe the 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 the 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 than have to forgive
I'd rather lose it than live with this memory
Don't wanna accept the things that you did
I try not to show it
But you know it hurts me
I'd rather forget than have to forgive
I'd rather lose it than live with this memory
Don't wanna accept the things that you did
'Cause you know it hurts me, yeah, yeah

Before I go and say something I don't mean
Before I go and say something I don't mean

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
