Break Your Heart
-Barenaked Ladies
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
