There's something you should know   That I could never tell   You think that I am better   I thought of telling you at home or on the phone   Or written in a letter.      When the world is asleep   I am still trying to figure it out   And the secrets I'm keeping   Are what I am always about      I know I got off easy   God knows why you believe me   Hiding behind little white lies   This time I got off easy   When will you ever see?   That I got, and I got, and I got off, and I got off easy.      There's something you would know   If you could read my mind   Or look behind my cover   Creeping around at night   Is it impossible to be an honest lover?      So I'll live and I'll die   Never be satisfied 'till tommorow   Can I change this? Arrange this to keep me from feeling so hollow?      I know I got off easy.   God knows why you believe me.   Hiding behind little white lies.   This time I got off easy.   When will you ever see   That I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy   And I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy.      I know I got off easy   When will you ever see   That I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy.   That I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy.
