You asked me to read this letter

That you wrote the night before

And you really should now better

'Cause she's worth a whole lot more, brother



You know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry

Is that why you won't go and say goodbye



Then you said the fault was yours

And you really were to blame

'Twas as if to close the door

And to hide away in shame brother



You know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry

Is that why you won't go and say goodbye



Yes and why tell me why

Can't you see that it's not right

It's a lie it's a lie

Don't hide your sorrow in the night brother
