Lyrics:

The bravest thing I’ve ever done was to run away and hide
But not this time, no 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 seem 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?
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
I guess cause I wouldn’t want to break your heart

But you say,
“What’d you think that I was gonna do curl up and die just because of you?
I’m not that weak, you know
And 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 ok
And that I’ve got what I want
And that’s rid of you
Goodbye

But it’s not cause I’ll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
It’s just that I didn’t mean to break your heart.
