You say you really love me But you fail to make me understand While pretending that I can't be bothered I know I'll never let you touch my soul again Easier said than done So I'm telling myself that I'm strong Telling the world that all is fine That I'd rather live with feelings of regret Than make you think I'd ever want you back How many roads do you want me to travel How do I live through these tears How many heartbreaks and dreams to unravel And words that I don't wanna hear I know you'll stop at nothing To show me that my heart is weak Even if it is, I'm only left to wonder If love means always having to turn the other cheek It's easier said than done And who am I trying to con Believing that it just takes time To feel no more stirrings of regret To forget how much I want you back How many roads do you want me to travel And how do I live through these tears How many heartaches and dreams to unravel Before I'd even let you come near How many nights till I see past tomorrow And how do I banish the tears Don't let me drown in an ocean of sorrow Pushing aside all my fears
