Matter of Honor

You say you're leaving
Go on and go
Don't hand me threats, then stand there
Darkening my door


If you want out, babe
I'll help you pack
But once you're on that road
Just know you can't come back


Chorus:

Somehow I've always tried
To keep it all inside
Some people might call it pride
I can't decide


You think I'll break down
Beg you to stay
Wouldn't give you the satisfaction
Let alone the time of day


Inside I'm hurting
But you won't see me cry
It's a matter of honor
How we learn to live and lie


Chorus


Sat silent on the bed
And watched while you packed up
Lay down on your side
As you loaded up your stuff


Watched from the window
As you drove on down the street
Then me and my honor
We cried ourselves to sleep


Chorus
