John Rodak - Promise Not to Tell

Once upon forever was the story that we told
When what was going on was just a lie
We always wanted something that we knew we'd never have
No one could ever say we did not try
I gave up on tomorrow like you did on yesterday
We gave up on each other long ago
I was never certain when you asked me to explain
Was it love or was it all for show

Don't say a word
Don't tell me that you care
I will always love you even when nobody's there
We'll go on pretending
It's what we do so well
And make each other promise not to tell

We've come a long way darling but there's no place left to go
Close the door we'll leave it all behind
Did you ever realize what happened to us here
All this time I thought that you were mine

I had always hoped that somehow love would find a way
And things could be just like they were before
But I could never be the man you wanted me to be
Don't you love me anymore

Time will only tell
What's meant to be is meant to be
If it's all the same I'll wait here for a while
Still I have to wonder as I watch you walk away
Is this the last time that we say goodbye

Don't say a word
Don't tell me that you care
I will always love you even when nobody's there
We'll go on pretending
It's what we do so well
And make each other promise not to tell
