You say you really love me
But you fail to make me understand
While pretending that I can't be bothered
I know I'll never let you touch my soul again
Easier said than done
So I'm telling myself that I'm strong
Telling the world that all is fine
That I'd rather live with feelings of regret
Than make you think I'd ever want you back
How many roads do you want me to travel
How do I live through these tears
How many heartbreaks and dreams to unravel
And words that I don't wanna hear
I know you'll stop at nothing
To show me that my heart is weak
Even if it is, I'm only left to wonder
If love means always having to turn the other cheek
It's easier said than done
And who am I trying to con
Believing that it just takes time
To feel no more stirrings of regret
To forget how much I want you back
How many roads do you want me to travel
And how do I live through these tears
How many heartaches and dreams to unravel
Before I'd even let you come near
How many nights till I see past tomorrow
And how do I banish the tears
Don't let me drown in an ocean of sorrow
Pushing aside all my fears
