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, if, if I always seem distracted, like my mind's somewhere else
That's because it's true, yes, it's true, aaaah
It's this stupid pride that makes me feel like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, lovin' 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, why must I always tell you all I want is this?
I guess, 'cause I wouldn't want to break your heart
You said "what'd you think 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 I, I've got what I want
And that's rid of you, goodbye
And it's 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...
Whoooo...
Whoooo...
Whoooo...
Whoooo...
Whoooo...
Whoooo...
Whoooo...
