Break Your Heart (edit) Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

0

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 this 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
Oh oh why must I always tell you what I want is this?
I guess 'cos I wouldn't want to break your heart
You said "What d'ya think that I was gonna do?
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak you know
What d'ya 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 ok
And that I've got what I want
And that's rid of you
Bye
And it's not 'cos 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
