The Tears I Lie To You About
My footprints are dirty  so I wipe them away
  like the tears I lie to you about
When the phone has stopped wringing  the clock gets too loud
  and my ears try to tune it all out
'Cause the ticking only reminds me of how long it's been
  since the last time you made my telephone wring

So I walk away  after you kick me out
And wipe away the tears I lie to you about

My language is rusty  so I let you speak
  but you aren't speaking to me anymore
I should have spoken sooner  but I didn't know how
  As I told you "I love you"  you were slamming the door
Confusion and Fear become my best friends
  as another episode of happiness ends

So I walk away  after you kick me out
And wipe away the tears I lie to you about

My nightmares get worse  and I dream only of you
  and now I'm too scared to sleep
But when I'm awake  I'm haunted by my words
  promises I thought I'd keep
I try to make sense of what's in my head
  try to sort out all the things I never said

And I walk away  after you kick me out
And wipe away the tears I lie to you about

My footprints are dirty so I wipe them away
  like the tears I lie to you about
My footprints are dirty  My memories are dirty
  I wipe them away
Like the tears I lie to you about
