It wasn't that I didn't love you

I just couldn't make you see

That as hard as I tried

To make it all better

It was not better for me

The love that I gave you was...



All around you

There was nothing left for me



But I hate to say it

But I saw it coming

My feelings were changing



I only say what you want to hear

When there is a conflict

I stay clear

When he was loving I was in tears

He knows my fears



I wish I could figure a way around this

She says...like a sad song

I don't understand the way that I feel

I am terrified of being wrong

Well, I am not happy

And I am not crazy

Are you listening, do you hear

Everything happens for a reason

Stay clear



I only say what you want to hear

When there is a conflict

I stay clear

When he was loving I was in tears

He knows my fears



When love changes in the flash of an eye

It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road

You stand there you got nothing to hold

For the first time you are alone

For the first time you are alone



It wasn't that I didn't love you

But I just couldn't make you see

That as hard as I tried to make it all better

It was not better for me

The love that I gave you was all around you

There was nothing left for me

But I hate to say it

But I saw it coming

My feelings were changing



I only say what you want to hear

When there is a conflict

I stay clear

When he was loving I was in tears

He knows my fears



When love changes in the flash of an eye

It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road

You stand there you got nothing to hold

For the first time you are alone

For the first time you are alone



That don't mend the sorrow

Or reinvent the pleasure
