Got Off Easy

theres something you should know that i could never tell
you think that i am better
i thought of telling you
at home or on the phone, or written in a letter
when the world is asleep i am still tryin to figure it out
and the secrets i am keeping are what i am always about

I know i got off easy
God knows why you believe me
hiding behind little white lies
this time i got off easy
when will you ever see
that i got, and i got, and i got
and i got off easy

theres something you would know if you could read my mind
or look behind my cover
creeping around at night
is it impossible to be an honest lover?

so im leaving, im gone
and ill be satisfied til tomorrow
can i change, its arranged
just to keep me from feeling so hollow

I know i got off easy
God knows why you believe me
hiding behind little white lies
this time i got off easy
when will you ever see
that i got, and i got, and i got
and i got off easy

and i got, and i got, and i got
and i got off easy

I know i got off easy
God knows why you believe me
hiding behind little white lies
this time i got off easy
when will you ever see
that i got, and i got, and i got
and i got off easy

i know i got off easy
when will you ever see
that i got, and i got, and i got
and i got off easy
that i got, and i got, and i got
and i got off easy
