Scare Myself Better Than She Ever Could

              In all the time I knew her
              Which was considerable
              I can't recall ever sitting down for a drink
              And opening up

                                     I think I was afraid to ask her                                         Questions
                                     Especially about her apprehensions
                                     I didn't want answers that would                                   Scare me away
                                     I didn't want her to turn into
                                     Someone I wouldn't know

Didn't want to know she'd been hurt
Didn't want to know she'd been abused
Didn't want to know how much she hated
Didn't want to know how much she used

So I pretended everything that went wrong
Went wrong by my hand
So much easier
Than dealin' with the truth
