The bravest thing I've ever done
|
Was to run away and hide
|
But not this time, not this time
|
And the weakest thing I've ever done
|
Was to stay right by your side
|
Just like this time, and every time
|
I couldn't tell you I was happy when you were gone
|
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart.
|
I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on
|
But I didn't mean to break your heart.
|
|
And if I always seem distracted
|
Like my minds somewhere else,
|
That's because it's true, yes it's true
|
it's this stupid pride that makes me feel
|
Like I have to follow through
|
Even half-assedly, loving you
|
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
|
When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start
|
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
|
I guess 'cause I didn't want to break your heart
|
|
And you said;
|
"What'd you think that I was gonna do,
|
Curl up and die just because of you?
|
I'm not that weak, you know
|
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
|
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
|
how could you be so low?
|
You arrogant man,
|
What do you think that I am?
|
My heart will be fine
|
Just stop wasting my time"
|
|
And now I know that you will be okay, and that I
|
got what I want and that's rid of you
|
Good bye
|
And it's not cause I'll be missing you
|
That makes me fall apart
|
it's just that I didn't mean to break
|
No I didn't mean to break
|
No I didn't mean to break
|
Your heart
|
