I never told a lie
I didn't wish was true
She loves me like she's clinging to her life
The future's a phone call from the grandchildren's room
She loves being a mother, and she's an excellent wife
But the silence finds truth between every word

I threw my phone in the road in the busiest lane
Cause it calls you by habit
When I got nothin' to say
And it won't let me pick up if it isn't your name
And even if it did, what would I talk about anyway?

Cause my secrets are told by the silence I keep
The whole world's on mute; only your words repeat

I won't ever want you back
It takes two and I won't dance
Like you were taking out the trash
Turning now into the past

My brain knows the pain I'm about to endure
So I'm stumbling through the day
Like I don't know my left from the ground
It's like time is a surgeon and I'm under the knife
And I'm not allowed to think
Til you're removed and I'm found

But those phantom pains
Ache like I'm losing a limb
When I reach out to touch you, you're just touching him

I won't ever want you back
It takes two and I won't dance
Like you were taking out the trash
Turning now into the past

I won't ever want you back
Keep my heart and keep my past
And die alone from living fast
Three more lies I wish were fact
