about

Just because sometimes it's better not to know

lyrics

You come into the room
and I am talking to myself
and you ask why, why, why
I tell you that it's nothing
'cos it seems the thing to say
but I lie, lie, lie

A hurried explanation is the last
thing that you need
It won't help you anyway
Some things are best forgotten so
the lies can be believed
and we keep those harsh realities at bay
Hey, hey, hey

And we're all here in this circus
and we're all part of the show
and sometimes the final irony is lost
So don't go searching out for answers
It's much better you don't know
It's all a lie, lie, lie
so don't ask why, why, why

She sees and unknown number
or a credit card receipt
It makes her cry, cry, cry

But when she sees the children
and she thinks of the deceit
her eyes are dry, dry, dry

A hurried explanation is the last
thing that she needs
and it won't help you anyway
Some things are best forgotten so
the lies can be believed
and we keep those harsh realities at bay
Hey, hey, hey

And we're all here in this circus
and we're all part of the show
and sometimes the final irony is lost
So don't go searching out for answers
It's much better you don't know
It's all a lie, lie, lie
so don't ask why, why, why

How many secrets can you keep
when the only truth is talking in your sleep
It's just the silly games we play
and it's the words that we don't say
Hey, hey, hey

And we're all here in this circus
and we're all part of the show
and sometimes the final irony is lost
So don't go searching out for answers
It's much better you don't know
It's all a lie, lie, lie
so don't ask why, why, why

It's all a lie, lie, lie
so don't ask why, why, why
