things i don't saymy mother always told me you don't get credit for the terrible things you don't say.
the things you thought but kept inside, those sharp cutting truths that you leave rattling around in your head for fear of hurting someone elsethere are plenty terrible things i could say
your boyfriend is cheating on you
your ex won't take you back
your top is uglyi could tell you that you looked better with your previous hair cut, that your ex girlfriend knows you liked me when you where together, that the only reason i ask about my ex so much is so i get a chance to talk to you
i could tell you i love you
but that would be a terrible thing to say
