tell me can you hear me anymore
tell me does this make sense anymore
i didn't mean to make anyone upset
i just didn't want to be mean anymore
didn't want to make scenes anymore
that's what happens when i have to pretend

and it's not the first time i heard you say
why can't you just love me the same way
i disappoint you try as i may
but don't say you'd be better off without me these days

no one wants to get hurt anymore
used to seem we all played at these wars
of love and jealousy
we're so careful cause we've been hurt ourselves
cheated on or hurt someone else
or we've just seen too many casualties

and it's not the first time i've heard you say
why can't you just love me the same way
i disappoint you try as i may
but don't say you'd be better off without me these days

this could happen to you or anyone
when everything and nothing's wrong
you're doing the best you can just to hold on
you just don't want to be mean anymore
just don't want to make scenes anymore
that's what happens when you have to pretend

and it's not the first time i heard you say
why can't you just love me the same way
i disappoint you try as i may
but don't say you'd be better off without me these days

no want wants to get hurt anymore
no one wants to get hurt anymore
no one wants to but we can't stop now

you say you lost the year to love
you'll lose the next one to longing
and maybe none of us is safe
but we can keep on falling
yeah we can keep on falling
