Lyrics
You must be kidding with that let's just be friends shit
I'm still so angry 'cause I'm still in love
You see I can't feel that way and just wash my hands of it
It's so demeaning when you talk to me with kid gloves
I can't argue with a word you say. I can't
I can't tell you there's a better way.
I've got no sympathy for what this puts you through
It doesn't matter that you don't want to hurt me, after you do.
You must be kidding with that "It's not you it's me."
Can't you come up with something better than that?
"We've got to talk," four words that speak volumes to me
I'm striking out before I get up to bat.
I can't argue with a word you say. I can't
I can't tell you there's a better way.
I've got no sympathy for what this puts you through
It doesn't matter that you don't want to hurt me, after you do.
I understand the sentiment behind it
I'm sure that you're sincere
But all your giving me's a handful of words
That I'd just assume not hear, 'cause....
It doesn't matter that you don't want to hurt me,
It doesn't matter that you don't want to hurt me,
It doesn't matter that you don't want to hurt me,
After You Do
