We sat and talked about the past; mistakes you'd like to hide
If you could live your life again, the things you wouldn't do
But those decisions that we take, make us who we are
Don't worry 'cos it's long ago and there's no need to hide

'Cos self denial is the name of the game and everybody lies
We've all done things of which we are ashamed and that we'd like to hide
We've all done things that we'd like to hide
We've all done things that we'd like to hide

We sat and talked of what's ahead; the things you'd like to do
Don't let others bring you down, 'cos this life is up to you
There's no use in holding back, be just who you are
Don't worry 'cos it's just a game and there's no need to hide

'Cos self denial is the name of the game and everybody lies
We've all done things of which we are ashamed and that we'd like to hide
We've all done things that we'd like to hide
We've all done things that we'd like to hide
