I'll bite my lips, I'll hold my tongue
I don't want to make it seem like you've won
I'll dry my tears, I'll wipe the lines
Like you did for me, a hundred times
But I don't want you to know how much it hurts
When you couldn't come to face to face to speak those words

"I don't want to go on, I don't think this is right
I work two jobs and I just haven't got time
This was fun while it lasted, but now this is gone
So please don't make this a big deal, I'm trying to say this sweetly
Let's just make this easy"

I'll smile when you look, and I'll laugh when you don't
And I'm hoping I'm getting under your skin but I know that I won't
I'll walk away; I'll hold my head up high
I won't even glance as you walk by
But I don't want you to know how much you meant to me
How dare you tell me this is my fault and that it's not worth saving

"I don't want to go on, I don't think this is right
I work two jobs and I just haven't got time
This was fun while it lasted, but now this is gone
So please don't make this a big deal, I'm trying to say this sweetly
Let's just make this easy"

But what if I want to go on, if I think this is right
We've both got jobs, but I can make time
Please don't call this the end, don't try to say this sweetly
I thought I meant more to you, this is not going to be easy
But you couldn't tell me to my face

So I'll bite my lips, and I'll hold my tongue
It won't ever seem like you've won
And I'll dry my tears, and I'll wipe the lines
And I'll forget how you did it for me a hundred times
Because I don't want you to know how much it hurt
When you texted me, these stupid things, can you even call them words

"I don't want to go on, I don't think this is right
I work two jobs and I just haven't got time
This was fun while it lasted, but now this is gone
So please don't make this a big deal, I'm trying to say this sweetly
Let's just make this easy"
But this will never be easy
