Too many nights

Too many tears

Too many years



Too many nights I've waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep

Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through

I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend



I thought that I could make it on my own

And the thought of starting over again

Scared me into staying here with you

Long after all the heartache began

I'm through with waiting in an empty bed

One for dinner when it should be two

I'm tired of holding back what should be said

I'm gonna let it go and stand up to you



Hey, too many nights I've waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep

Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through

I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend



My pride was swallowed one too many times

I've kept on turning my back on the truth

Now I'm as serious as a heart attack

'Coz I've decided baby, we're through

I'm growing stronger from experience

The woman in me's taking a stand

You taught me good, I learned my lesson well

And I'm never gonna let it happen again, no



Too many nights I've waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep

Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through

I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend



I'm gonna turn the page

Put heartache in the past

I gotta think about getting strong

And I'll put all those memories on the shelf

And make the space for someone else



(Too many nights I've waited around for you)

Too many nights

(Too many nights)

Too many nights

Hey, too many tears I've cried but now I'm through

(I'm through)

I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend



Too many nights I've waited around for you

I've waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep

Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through

I cried, cried, cried

Too many nights

Too many tears

Too many years
