maybe it'd be best
if i didnt put your
conscience to the test.

if i was honest
and told you out straight
what it is
Garret does when he's out late.

but I can't bring myself
to break your heart
i cant find the words
i'd need to tear your world apart.

and i dont want to let
you fall into a world
where everyone else
looks out for you.

you need independance
but you also need truth
and im torn between
helping you out.

there are two ways this could go
i could tell you
but maybe you already know..

and if you knew
then you've learned from the past.
im sorry michelle
that this couldn't last.

but if you don't know
i cant tell you out straight
i know this isnt fair
but it just isnt my place.

do you think you'd believe me
if i told it to your face
or would assume im lying like last time
and hate me for this?

but im not lying
why would i do that to you
tell me again
just everything you've been through.

so yeah, thats exactly why
i'd choose now
to lie to you...

but maybe Michelle,
you should start to question
just what it is your boyfriend is doing
ask him straight out
what he is doing fiddling about.
