Lyrics

No, I won't speak about it
Just let me out at the curb
And I can find my way home
Don't wanna think about it
No, I don't wanna be a burden
I can do it alone
I can do it alone
It's times like these I wish
It's times like these I wish
I didn't have a heart to ignore
I think its sweet of you to ask
Maybe I'm just not as good at hiding
As I have been before
Oh I've done it all before
It takes most of me to keep it locked away
And it takes most of me to make it through the day
I can only go through the motions
With no trace of emotion for so long
I can only hold the appearance
Of no sentiment interference
'til I can't take it anymore
I've been bending 'til I'm broken
So if the floodgates burst wide open
Don't look me in the eye
It's been oh so many years
And I'm still learning how to let myself cry
I've been swallowing my tears
So I'm still learning how to let myself cry
It hasn't happened yet
I haven't died of a broken heart
But, honey, I've gotten close
No, I won't speak about it
I'll get pulled right back to the edge
And I might never come home
Oh, I can do this alone
But it takes most of me to keep it locked away
And it takes most of me to make it through the day
I can only go through the motions
With no trace of emotion for so long
I can only hold the appearance
Of no sentiment interference
'til I can't take it anymore
I've been bending 'til I'm broken
So if the floodgates burst wide open
Don't look me in the eye
It's been oh so many years
And I'm still learning how to let myself cry
I've been swallowing my tears
So I'm still learning how to let myself cry
{chorus overlapping]
She passed her habits to me
I count the times I've seen her weep
In front of me on my hand
She never talked about it
We never talked about it
I can only go through the motions
With no trace of emotion for so long
I can only hold the appearance
Of no sentiment interference
I can't take it anymore
I've been bending 'til I'm broken
So if the floodgates burst wide open
Don't look me in the eye
It's been oh so many years
And I'm still learning how to let myself cry
I've been swallowing my tears
So I'm still learning how to let myself cry
