lyrics

why do you keep coming around
even when you know it’s done
why do you keep floating down
a river that’s already run dry

how can you stay standing up
when I’m falling to my knees
how can you keep talking tough
when you know I can barely speak right

oh ‘cause
nothing says “I love you” like false hope
nothing is so easy to see through and hard to let go
nothing feels so much like a cruel joke
but if you can’t love me, you can go

where did you think I could hide
you were always in the room
why would I cover my eyes
when I could see was you there

oh ‘cause
nothing says “I love you” like false hope
nothing is so easy to see through and hard to let go
nothing feels so much like a cruel joke
but if you can’t love me, you can go

someone teach me a lesson here
I’m getting it wrong
it seems I fall every year
for the same song
and he won’t sing for me
but he won’t ever leave

and he knows nothing says “I love you” like false hope
nothing is so easy to see through and hard to let go
nothing feels so much like a cruel joke
but if he can’t love me, he can go
