Standard (EADGBE)

 The bravest thing I've ever done

 Was to run away and hide

 But not this time, not this time

 And the weakest thing I've ever done

 Was to stay right by your side

 Just like this time and every time

 I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone

 So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart

 I couldn't tell you so I had to lead you on

 But I didn't mean to break your heart.

 And if I always seemed distracted,

 Like my mind is somewhere else

 That's because it's true, yes it's true

 It's the stupid pride that makes me feel

 Like I have to follow through

 Even half-assedly, loving you

 Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?

 When I guess I should have just come out and told

 You right from the start

 Why must I always tell you all I want is this?

 I guess cause I didn't want to break your heart.

 And you said

 What'd you think I that I was gonna do?

 Curl up and die just because of you?

 I'm not that weak, you know

 What'd you think that I was gonna do?

 Try to make you love me as much as I love you?

 How could you be so low?

 You arrogant man,

 What do you think that I am?

 My heart will be fine

 Just stop wasting my time

 And now I know that you will be okay

 And that I got what I want

 And that's rid of you

 Good-bye

 And its not cause I'll be missing you

 That makes me fall apart

 It's just that I didn't mean to break

 No, I didn't mean to break

 No, I didn't mean to break

 Your heart

 Your heart
