It's funny how quiet can be so loud

we're too ashamed to talk

cause we're too damn proud

pretending not to know about him

pretending not to know about her

we fell and got our feelings hurt



oh well, it's over now

you say you're walking out

he's waiting for you in the car outside

oh well, it's over now

and I'm breaking down

but I'll never bring myself to cry



(chorus)

you can take all the records

you can even take the damn goodbye

better take what you can

cause I'll never let you take my pride

I'll never let you take my pride

gotta put my tears aside

Because I'll never let you take my pride



it's cruel how she needs to see me ache

she'll know that it's real if she sees the hate

did you really need to bring him here

why can't we part with dignity?

it's a pity bout your insecurity



can't believe it's over now

no need to work it out

I'm so releived we never had a child

well, it's over now and I'm breaking down

I gotta clean up this mess you made inside



(chorus)



sha la la la la

sha la la la la

sha la la la la la la

oh well, it's over now

and I'm breaking down

but I'll never bring myself to cry

(chorus to fade-out)
