break your heart - by the barenaked ladies

[Mellabopper]

the bravest thing i've ever done
was to run away and hide
but not this time, not this time
and the weakest thing i've ever done
was to stay right by your side
just like this time and every time
i couldnt tell you i was happy you were gone
so i lied and said that i missed you when we were apart
i couldnt tell you,
so i had to lead you on
but i didnt mean to break your heart
and if i always seemed distracted,
like my mind is somewhere else -
thats because it's true, yes it's true.
its the stupid pride that makes me feel
like i have to follow through
even half-assedly, loving you
why must i always speak in terms of cowardice?
when i guess i should have just come out and told you
right from the start
why must i always tell you all i want is this?
i guess cause i didnt mean to break your heart
and you said:
"what'd u think that i was gonna do,
curl up and die just because of you?
i'm not that weak, you know.
what'd u think that i was gonna do?
try to make you love me as much as i love you?
how could you be so low?:
you arrogant man,
what do you think that i am?
my heart will be fine,
just stop wasting my time!"
and now i know that you will be okay
and that i got what i want -
and thats rid of you
good-bye
and its not cause i'll be missing you
that makes me fall apart
it's just that i didnt mean to break
no, i didnt mean to break
no, i didnt mean to break
your heart,
your heart...

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance. It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live."

Quite possibly one of the best songs I've ever heard.... or maybe just because it brings me back to an exact spot, an exact time, an exact feeling..... and every time I hear it, I remember that moment so perfectly........

Finding my way back to sanity, again. Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there.
