Lyrics
That?s When You Know
And I do understand how you?re feeling
I was there myself for so long
To feel responsible for another
To mistake compassion for love
You don?t want to talk it over
You know what you say?s gonna hurt
But this feeling won?t pass and my love won?t last
I?m only biding time
(Chorus)
But when he wants you to be what you?re not
When you?re only trying to change to stop the very next fight
When you feel the most yourself when you?re all alone
That?s when you know it?s over
That?s when you know it?s done
And I know how hard it is to end it
You?ve invested so much of yourself
It?s so disappointing to see it end
You?re consumed with the guilt that won?t go
And it?s so confusing when you care for him
You hope there might be something left
But you know deep inside you?re only fooling yourself
Tell me how much more time do you intend to let pass
(Chorus)
But when he wants you to be what you?re not
When you?re only trying to change to stop the very next fight
When you feel the most yourself when you?re all alone
That?s when you know it?s over
That?s when you know it?s done
(Bridge)
Over and Over
It?s tearing you apart
Over and Over
It?s tearing us apart
Over and Over
Who you gonna love
What you gonna do
When I?m through with you
(Chorus)
But when he wants you to be what you?re not
When you?re only trying to change to stop the very next fight
When you feel the most yourself when you?re all alone
That?s when you know it?s over
That?s when you know it?s done
