lyrics

The front door to your house is always locked but I have found the key
It's hidden underneath the mat where all the world can never see
But I don't want in anyway, there's nothing you can offer me
I will not be your other guy
'Cause I can't even look you in the eye

There's one thing that I'd never do and that is I won't lie to you
But every time I tell the truth, I ask myself why I'm with you
'Cause somehow everything you say makes me just hate you more each day
When I'm with you, I wanna die
'Cause I can't even look you in the eye

The last time that I saw your face, I knew you but I couldn't place
Where we had seen each other last, now you're a relic from my past
You used to always make my smile, but I'll forget after awhile
And I won't even wonder why
'Cause I can't even look you in the eye

I can't even look you in the eye
