How

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
