  • I feel like I could run away
    Looking at a darker day
    Oh, I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes
    It's true, the moody manners come and go
    And it's better that you never know

    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some strings are better left undone
    Some hearts are better left unbroken
    Some lives are better left untouched
    Some lies are better off believed
    Some words are better left unspoken

    My ideas seem to frighten you
    Are you really that afraid to move?
    Oh, guess that it's your right to reason
    I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong
    The force is stringing us along

    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some strings are better left undone
    Some hearts are better left unbroken
    Some lives are better left untouched
    Some lies are better off believed
    Some words are better left unspoken

    You're living a lie
    That's the only thing I can say

    Ooh, some things are better left
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some strings
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some lives are better
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some hearts are better
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some lies are better
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some things are better left
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some strings
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some lives are better
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some hearts, better
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some lies are better, ooh
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some things are better left
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some strings
    Some things are better left unsaid
    Some lives are better
    Some things are better left unsaid Writer/s: Daryl Hall
