[Verse 1]
It wasn't that I didn't love you
I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried to make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that I gave you was all around you
There was nothing there for me
Well, I hate to say it, but I saw it coming
My feelings were changing

[Chorus]
I only say what you wanna hear
When there is conflict, I stand clear
When he was loving, I was in tears
He knows my fears

[Verse 2]
"I wish I could figure a way around this"
She says, like a sad song (Sad song)
I don't understand the way that I feel
I am terrified of being wrong
Well, I am not happy, I am not crazy
Are you listening? Do you hear?
Everything happens for a reason
Stay clear (Stay clear)
[Chorus]
I only say what you wanna hear
When there is conflict, I stand clear
When he was loving, I was in tears
He knows my fears

[Post-Chorus]
When love changes in the flash of an eye
It leaves people burning by the side of the road
You stand there, you've got nothing to hold
For the first time, you are alone
For the first time, you are alone

[Verse 1]
It wasn't that I didn't love you
But I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried to make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that I gave you was all around you
There was nothing there for me
I hate to say it, but I saw it coming
My feelings were changing

[Chorus]
I only say what you wanna hear
When there is conflict, I stand clear
When he was loving, I was in tears
He knows my fears
[Post-Chorus]
When love changes in the flash of an eye
It leaves people burning by the side of the road
You stand there, you've got nothing to hold
For the first time, you are alone
For the first time, you are alone

[Outro]
That don't mend the sorrow
Or reinvent the pleasure
Mend the sorrow
Reinvent the pleasure, oh no
That don't mend the sorrow
Reinvent the pleasure
