Break My Heart

The bravest thing you've ever done

is to run away and hide,

But not this time, not this time.

The weakest thing I've ever done

is to stay right by your side

Just like this time, and every time.

You couldn't tell me you were happy I was gone,

So you lied and said that you missed me when we were apart.

you couldn't tell me so you had to lead me on,

But I know you didn't mean to break my heart.

And if you always seem distracted

like your mind is somewhere else,

That's because it's true.

It's this stupid pride that makes you feel

Like you have to follow through,

even half-assedly loving me.

Why must you always speak in terms of cowardice?

When you should have just come out

and told me right from the start?

Why must you always tell me all you want is this? I guess 'cause you didn't want to break my heart.

I 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 you know that I will be okay,

and that you got what you want

And that's rid of me. Goodbye...

And its not because I'll be missing you

that makes me fall apart,

It's just that I know you didn't mean to break my heart

I know you didn't mean to break my heart.
