Could have been a braver man, could have told the truth
Didn’t have to show my hand, what was I to do?

Odds were stacked against us, everyone could see
Another case of needs must, more uncertainty
Sacred once, but now it’s gone

Freed myself of all constraints, freed myself of guilt
Exercised too much restraint, secrets never spilt

Been drinking again, making false claims
What are you thinking of? Call this love?

Desperation rears its’ head, anger masks the pain
Too much was left unsaid, how it must remain
