Should Have Never Shown My Face

l learned my lesson well
did you think i couldn't tell
i am left to watch you fade away
i let you see too much
way beyond the smile is such
some things are better off not knowing

i could lie
i could hide
wait for hope on the other side

but i should have never shown my face
never shown my face
i should have never shown my face where you could see it
i should have never let you see
the reality of me
i should have left the mask on
and let be the mystery

i'm livin' in the past
the future hit me way too fast
i am left to watch the pieces falling
i let you way too close
now it's over...all she wrote
some things are better off not showing

i could lie
i could hide
wait for hope on the other side

but i should have never shown my face
never shown my face
i should have never shown my face
where you could see it
i should have never let you see
the reality of me
i should have left the mask on
and let be the mystery

I Won't Say A Thing At All

i think about you sometimes
in the middle of the day
and wonder where the time has gone
i dream about the moments
we never thought to take
there's nothin' there to leave
so why move on?

i could have said so many things
you could have said so many things
the time has passed to my regret
what we had back then is all we'll get
i see your face in random dreams
i'll pretend it don't mean anything
the time has passed for me to call
so i won't say a thing at all

i wonder 'bout the life we missed
while i'm sitting home alone
and think about the tragedies of life
i hold on to the moments
i looked into your eyes
but the past can't be revived
'cause it's all gone

i could have said so many things
you could have said so many things
the time has passed to my regret
what we had back then is all we'll get
i see your face in random dreams
i'll pretend it don't mean anything
the time has passed for me to call
so i won't say a thing at all
