what shall i say?

what shall i say

when our neighbours want us to come to tea?

they don't know you're not with me

what shall i say?

what shall i say

when the phone rings and someone asks for you

they don't know i ask for you too

what shall i say?

how can i hide the tears inside

how can i face the crowd?

i can

make lips of mine be still

but my heart sighs too loud

i could explain that

you're only gone for a walk to shop

but after the week is up

what shall i say?
