Intro
(pick bass note with pick and pluck the rest softly with fingers)
Verse
You ask me all kinds of questions, Like I . . I've got something to hide
And I don't know why this all began
You used to love me for freedom, Said you'd climb aboard and fly
Now we're on the ground and I'm locked in
Chorus
I don't wanna lie, Saying it's alright
Staring at the walls round our lives, And they're ten feet high
No I'm not dumb
You don't need to smile when you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes, And the fun we had is done
But I won't sit and watch you go cold
When summer has left the room, This curtain is closing
I'm not staying to see the end
Verse
We said we'd never become this, And tell each other how to live
Now I know your high times aren't with me
We keep finding more ways to escape you and me
Pretend you're asleep when you're lying awake
Chorus
I don't wanna lie, Saying it's alright
Staring at the walls round our lives, And they're ten feet high
No I'm not dumb
You don't need to smile when you hurt inside
Don't say it's over, When I still love you
I won't let it go cold, When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing, I'm not staying to see the end
I won't watch it grow old, When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing, I'm not staying to be the end

Say it's over, And I still love you
Say it's over, And I still love you
