I know it's late and I missed your call

But I can't explain

If I did I'd lose it all

If I could take it back, then I would take it back

I can't tell you that, I'd never tell you that

So I tip toe when I don't want you to know that I'm not around

And I tip toe, just a little more time and I'll be gone

And you would never leave

And I could never say the words 'cause they won't be enough

So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know

A million ways, a million stories

They all end the same

But I can't have you leave me

If I could take it back, then I would take it back

I can't tell you that, I'd never tell you that

So I tip toe when I don't want you to know that I'm not around

And I tip toe, just a little more time and I'll be gone

And you would never leave

And I could never say the words 'cause they won't be enough

So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know

If I tell you will it break you?

Will you lose your faith in me?

Can you take it if I say it all?

So I tip toe, so I tip toe

So I tip toe when I don't want you to know that I'm not around

And I tip toe, just a little more time and I'll be gone

And you would never leave

And I could never say the words 'cause they won't be enough

So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know

I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know

I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know

I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know

I don't want you to know, I don't want you to know

So I tip toe 'cause I don't want you to know
