Words & Music By Steven Page & Ed Robertson Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

Words & Music by Steven Page 

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 when 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.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And if I always seem distracted 

Like my minds somewhere else, 

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

it's this 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 

Photos 

And you said; 

"What'd you think 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 it's 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
