Holding Back Tears Lyrics

 

I lie when I say I don't know where you are

I keep an eye on both of you so you don't walk in on us

An hour late, your dinners in the microwave 

But you see red and your temper flares throwing two empty plates 

You've had your suspicions and god knows i've had mine 

But we're  both happier together when we both cross that line

 

Punching holes in smoked stained walls shows me you still care 

Apologize through guilty eyes we act like its not there

We revel in the make-up we forget how much it hurts 

When we were good between the cheats didn't matter who cheated first

 

Oh when you turn away, i'm left to linger in our desert days 

I wait till the sunrise and the fever breaks

Two of us are lying here, Im the only one holding back tears

​

You've stopped staring as I get out of the bath 

I can't say no to his attention you starve me of

You try to say you're mine completely 

But you loved me so much harder when you felt guilty for the cheating 

The unexpected knock as you're on your way to hers 

Oh, I can't hide my look of despair, the way my stomach turns

 

You see the mark on his neck, side glance between our eyes

You shrug and sigh, grab your beer, cuts worse than any fight

We revel in the make-up we forget how much it hurts

When we were good between the cheats didn't matter you cheated first

 

Oh when you turn away, i'm left to linger in our desert days 

I wait till the sunrise and the fever breaks

Two of us are lying here, Im the only one holding back tears
