We share our lives, our only Sweet and Low
But there are things about me you don't know
Packed deep inside where we don't often go
Confess my fault, disrupt the ebb and flow
Do you really want me to be honest with you?
Could you handle the truth if I told you?
Sometimes it seems that we're better off happy than wise
For the truth can cut deep, will the wounds really heal?
Will they really mend after the breaking?
I'd rather tangle the web and just leave it unsaid
So I run through all the outcomes in my head
Would you cry a crushing blow, wish I were dead?
Or would you take it with some grace instead?
A mystery of what-all should be said
Cause none the wiser we would carry on
In the fog our love is going strong
A gift we have to share our whole life long
To lay it out and tell the truth is wrong
Do you really want me to be honest with you?
Could you handle the truth if I told you?
Sometimes it seems that we're better off happy than wise
For the truth can cut deep, will the wounds really heal?
Will they really mend after the breaking?
I'd rather tangle the web and just leave it unsaid
