[Chorus:]

Now, emotions

I try to hide.

Don't know what

when, or even why,

But you're not the one

Gotta come clean tonight

No matter how

hard I try.

I just can't bring

this back to life.

It's over and done.

So

I gotta come

clean tonight.

The end

Has come around for us,

I gotta go

Something is wrong

but how do

I let you know?

I hate the thought

of hurting you.

I'm so confused.

Your lover, your friend

I hate

that I have to choose

To stay or go, I know

We're through

But I can't bring myself

to hurting you.

Chorus:

Now, emotions

I try to hide.

Don't know what

when, or even why,

But you're not the one.

Gotta come clean tonight.

No matter how

hard I try.

I just can't bring

this back to life.

It's over and done

So

I gotta come

clean tonight.

You know

I never thought it'd come

down to this.

(Look I know

it's hard to understand

but it's even harder

to explain)

This something

that I'm going through

I want you to know

that it's

It's nothing

that you've done

to make me go.

You say you want me

to stay,

and baby I know

(I know)

Just don't say

You love me

(No)

It's hard enough

for me to go.

Don't wanna make

the big mistake

of hanging on

Please don't say

you love me

(Don't)

It's hard enough

to close the door

(Now)

Chorus:

Now, emotions

I try to hide

Don't know what

when, or even why

But you're not the one

Gotta come

clean tonight

No matter how

Hard I try.

I just can't bring

this back to life.

It's over and done

So, I gotta

come clean tonight

Da, da, da, da

Now, emotions

I try to hide

(Emotions)

Don't know what

when, or even why

(Yea, baby, oh, Baby)

But you're not the one

(No)

Gotta come

clean tonight

No matter how

Hard I try

(No matter baby)

I just can't bring

this back to life

(I try, Oh)

It's over and done

(It's over)

So, I gotta come

clean tonight

(Yea)

I'm sorry baby

but I love you

Yes, I do
