I’ve given up believing, does it show
Don’t ask me what it’s like here alone
When love said don’t give yourself away
I didn’t know what else to do
And though I know what’s gone is gone
I keep holding on
I guess I’m a great pretender
(I didn’t wanna give it up)
(No I didn’t wanna see the truth)
I want to thank you boy
Thank you for the lesson in love
(I didn’t wanna give it up)
(No I didn’t wanna see the truth)
Now I want to thank you boy
For proving that love’s not enough
Shed a tear, run away
I don’t know how to stop this, all I do is try to change the rules again
You’re not ashamed enough, my tears are gone but not forgotten
And when you said that love will a way I always tried to understand
You didn’t have enough to give
But I still believed
I guess I’m a great pretender
(I didn’t wanna give it up)
(No I didn’t wanna see the truth)
Now I want to thank you boy
Thank you for the lesson in love
(I didn’t wanna give it up)
(No I didn’t wanna see the truth)
I really want to thank you boy
For proving that love’s not enough
Since you been gone I’ve been falling apart it’s tearing me up inside
If I stand here and smile it’s only to hide these lonely tears that I cry
I still wonder why you needed to go
I’m trying to sympathise
A debt in gold is the hardest part
(I didn’t wanna give it up)
(No I didn’t wanna see the truth)
It’s the hardest part
(I didn’t wanna give it up)
(No I didn’t wanna see the truth)
It’s the hardest thing
