Maybe you thought you didn't need to believe
When I said I wore my heart & soul out on my sleeve
Did you not hear again what I just had to say
Do my words leave my lips and just drift away
I have tried every which way that I know
To give and to take, play this fast or take this slow
You love me off balance the issues you just skirt
Maybe you like seeing my tears in the dirt

I ask myself too often, what is this all worth
Is it necessary for love to have this much pain and hurt
And I feel alone in this, that you are doin' fine
You seem oblivious this harvest is dying on the vine
And I ask myself again why I allow us this way
Do I hang for the company avoid loneliness each day
But you get all the treasure while I do all the work
Maybe you like to see my tears in the dirt

At night you are distant you feel many miles away
We're no closer to each other then Monday is to Friday
Even when I reach to touch you, I still feel all alone
I have come to see this is not love; this is not a home
I've decided that it's time we say our goodbye's
There's no happy ending when you're living with tears & lies
You see I have found my value and I know what I'm worth
Now it's your turn to leave your tears in the dirt.

Haven't I always given you all that I could
Haven't I been your everything but I guess just not so damn good
Look me in the eyes and tell me tell me to my face
That all this we're livin was lies and one gigantic f*ckin' mistake
You don't have to touch or lay a hand on me
I'm doin' good on my own kickin' myself in the ass for free
Well it cost me more than you will ever, ever know
Said I'd leave when hell froze over, well it looks like it's startin' to snow

Tell me tell me what you were thinkin' what you had in mind
Tell me tell me what was I thinkin' how was I so damn blind

Maybe you thought you didn't need to believe
When I said I wore my heart & soul out on my sleeve
Did you not hear again what I just had to say
Do my words leave my lips and just drift away
I have tried every which way that I know
To give and to take, play this fast or take this slow
You love me off balance the issues you just skirt
Maybe you like seeing my tears in the dirt
