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
