lyrics

Breaking hearts just a recent trend
Hence the letters from former friends who got out
Only to want back in again

Though they stray miles away
You keep their hearts, put them on display
Would you like mine too?

Being lonely is no excuse, between
Love and affection you get confused and I get stuck
My time gets taken up

I'll take it, I'll take it in stride
I'd do anything if it would only get me off the schneid
I have my, I halve my pride
I was a fool to think that I could ever turn this tide

I saw you kiss him but you weren't there
Hands and lips and a vacant stare and a smile
I couldn't sleep for a while

You said it's nothing, you shouldn't lie
I'd call your bluffing but think there's something in my eye
I can't take it tonight

If I'm a project and you have a few
You may not love me but you will never cut me loose
I'll make it easier for you

I'll take it, I'll take it in stride
I was a fool to think that that would ever get me off the schneid
I have my, I halve my pride
I was a fool to think that I could ever turn this tide

Now you're calling me up,
I'm not acting the same
And I'm falling over myself trying to forget your name
I don't think that you're sorry
But you're making me guess
If I can't make it better I want to feel it less
If I can't make it better I want to feel it less
If I can't make it better I'd like to feel it less
If I can't make it better I want to feel it less
If I can't make it better I want to feel it
Less
