Clear Your Conscience Lyrics

You always took me for granted

I think you finally see it now

But only two weeks before I catch the next flight out of town

And now suddenly you care

You wanna give me all your time

And even though it's far too late

For these next few weeks, I'll play the role you assigned

I guess that I could be your friend

I guess that I could play pretend

I'll hide the scars if that will make you feel better about everything

Guess I'll hold on to my two cents

Try my best not to take offense

I'll bite my tongue and hold my breath if that'll clear your conscience

If that'll clear your conscience

If that'll clear your

You never treated me right

I think you finally understand that even though you never cared for me, I was the closest thing you had to a friend

'Cause I was loyal and I was kind

With me, you knew you could relax because I would never turn on you, even though you never had my back

But

I guess that I could be your friend

I guess that I could play pretend

I'll hide the scars if that will make you feel better about everything

Guess I'll hold on to my two cents

Try my best not to take offense

I'll bite my tongue and hold my breath if that'll clear your conscience

If that'll clear your conscience

If that'll clear your

Drop me off at the airport

It's best we both say our goodbyes

Please, don't go chasing after me

I've got a one-way flight

These past few weeks were lots of fun, I have to admit

It was nice to finally have a friend in you

Even if it was short-lived

You finally acted like a friend

For once, you didn't just pretend

Too bad you didn't realize what you had until you were losing it

At least you tried to make amends

For that, I will not take offense

You can tell them we were friends if that'll clear your conscience
