got off easy lyrics

There's something you should know
That I could never tell
You think that I am better
I thought of telling you at home or on the phone
Or written in a letter.

When the world is asleep
I am still trying to figure it out
And the secrets I'm keeping
Are what I am always about

I know I got off easy
God knows why you believe me
Hiding behind little white lies
This time I got off easy
When will you ever see?
That I got, and I got, and I got off, and I got off easy.

There's something you would know
If you could read my mind
Or look behind my cover
Creeping around at night
Is it impossible to be an honest lover?

So I'll live and I'll die
Never be satisfied 'till tommorow
Can I change this? Arrange this to keep me from feeling so hollow?

I know I got off easy.
God knows why you believe me.
Hiding behind little white lies.
This time I got off easy.
When will you ever see
That I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy
And I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy.

I know I got off easy
When will you ever see
That I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy.
That I got, and I got, and I got, and I got off easy.
