You smile and say there's nothing wrong
But it's a thin charade and it won't last long
You can do your best to fool yourself
But you ain't foolin' me
There's something wrong with you lately
'cause I don't even have to try
To hear you talk with your nerves on edge
And see that bitter look in your eye
You ain't keepin no secrets
Everybody else knows why
You better tell him good-bye
How come you need to be so good?
You'd sell your soul for your friends if you thought you could
Did you tell yourself if you just held out
Then you would not feel the pain?
It's catchin' up with you lately
'cause I don't even have to try
To hear you talk with your nerves on edge
And see that bitter look in your eyes
You ain't keepin no secrets
Everybody else knows why
You better tell him good-bye
Every year's a little longer
But maybe you won't get much better than this
You can hold on to the good times
And think it's not hurting much, but I'm watching and baby, it is
Another day, another night
You've gotten used to the ache of not quite right
And the saddest part is to feel your heart
beat a constant deeper blue
You ain't keepin' no secrets
Everybody else knows why
You better tell him good-bye
