You know,
and I know,
but we don't
say a word
Cause we're cowards

And your friends all really like me
and tell me that I'm good for you,
and I think it's true
And my friends think I'm crazy,
and tell me not to hold by breath
I think I'm depressed

Cause you know,
and I know,
but we don't
say a word
Cause we're cowards

And my mother always calls me
to ask me how you are and to say hello
She says hello
And your mom sent out Christmas cards
with everybody's picture, including mine,
and it made me cry

You know,
and I know,
but we don't
say a word
We don't say a word
Cause we're cowards

And cowards walk away,
When they'd really rather stay,
forever
