Break Your Heart lyrics
by Barenaked Ladies



The bravest thing I've ever doneWas to run away and hideBut not this time, not this timeAnd the weakest thing I've ever doneWas to stay right by your sideJust like this time, and every timeI couldn't tell you I was happy you were goneSo I lied and said that I missed you when we were apartI couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you onBut I didn't mean to break your heartAnd If I always seem distractedLike my mind is somewhere elseThat's because it's true, yes it's trueIt's this stupid pride that makes me feelLike I have to follow throughEven half-assedly, loving youWhy must I always speak in terms of cowardice?When I guess I should have just come out and toldyou right from the startWhy must I always tell you all I want is this?I guesss 'cause I didn't want to break your heartAnd 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 knowWhat'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 I am?My heart will be fineJust stop wasting my time"And now I know that you will be okay,And I got what I want and that's rid of youGood-byeAnd it's not 'cause I'll be missing youThat makes me fall apartIt's just that I didn't mean to breakNo I didn't mean to breakYour heart
