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 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 seemed distracted, Like my mind is somewhere else That's because it's true, yes it's true It's the 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 I 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 its 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 Your heart
