Its okay

If you need to pretend

For all of your friends

That you don't even miss me



If that's what helps you sleep at night

And it's alright, if you need to be mean

And blame me for everything

And swear that you don't want me

If that's what helps you keep your pride



But I know when you close your door

And I'm not there to make dinner for

And you'll have to eat on your own again

And you'll have to sleep all alone again



You know, honey, you know I know

You'll be wanting me

But I'll keep it a secret

If you need it to be



So it's okay

Not to see me at all

And screen out my phone calls

And swear you never loved me



If that's what gets you through the day

And it's alright

If you found someone new to try to make love to

Make sure you forget me

If it helps to be that way



'Cause I know when she's in your bed

And she can't do the things I did

You'll close your eyes and you'll pretend

But that won't be enough and that's why



You know, honey, you know I know

You'll be wanting me

But I'll keep it a secret

If you need it to be

If you need it to be

If you need it to be



If you need it to be

I'll keep it a secret

If you need it to be, if you need it to be

If you need it to be

I'll keep it a secret



If you need it to be, if you need it to be

If you need it to be

I'll keep it a secret

If you need it to be, if you need, need it to be

If you need it to be

I'll keep it a secret

If you need it to be, yeah
