I know it's late and I missed your call
But I can't explain
If I did I'd lose it all
If I could take it back, then I would take it back
I can't tell you that, I'd never tell you that

So I tip toe when I don't want you to know that I'm not around
And I tip toe, just a little more time and I'll be gone
And you would never leave
And I could never say the words 'cause they won't be enough
So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know

A million ways, a million stories
They all end the same
But I can't have you leave me
If I could take it back, then I would take it back
I can't tell you that, I'd never tell you that

So I tip toe when I don't want you to know that I'm not around
And I tip toe, just a little more time and I'll be gone
And you would never leave
And I could never say the words 'cause they won't be enough
So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know

If I tell you will it break you?
Will you lose your faith in me?
Can you take it if I say it all?

So I tip toe, so I tip toe

So I tip toe when I don't want you to know that I'm not around
And I tip toe, just a little more time and I'll be gone
And you would never leave
And I could never say the words 'cause they won't be enough
So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know

I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know

So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know
