Tina says don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb

We've been broken down and broken up so much that I am numb

Talk about don't shout about the people we've become

There's a little girl who's cryin' over here.



Michael says don't shout at me like I was born a fool

You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel

Nothings fare in love and war, so please lets make some rules,

There's a little boy who's cryin' over here



(Chorus)

Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried

did you ever need me, I feel like I just died

Did you ever want me, I swear that I have tried

How do you tell someone you don't love them

How do you tell someone you don't care anymore

How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore



Tina says the pictures that we took are put away,

inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days,

Words and pencils rhyming with the things you never say,

There's a little girl who's crying over here



Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box

His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock

keeps himself protected with a combination lock

there's a little boy that's crying over here



(Chorus)



Fightin makes me tired

(in my eyes)

lying makes me tired

(there's a smile)

hurting makes me tired

(hold me tight)

lying makes me tired



Tina says I wish that I have never seen you smile

your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file

all I've got's my dignity, so I will leave in style

there's a million of us crying over here



did you ever know me I swear that I have tried

did you ever need me I feel like I just died

Did you ever want me I swe
