Word on the street is that you aren′t into me anymore You promise you′d come to me anytime, anywhere That was before ? ? But I′m getting by…
CHORUS But you′re making it seem Like I′m letting you down And telling your friends That I′m never around How can I find the right things to say? I don′t even know that you′re feeling this way Baby, I′m tired of letting you down
It′s a shame that you′re lying You keep on denying you tell me it′s cool You told all our secrets and weaknesses baby I feel like a fool Oooh and all the signs I′ve been reading between the lines From the start, I gave you my heart
CHORUS
I′ve played these games before And we know better We want to live and talk and stay together I′m trying to change your mind But you′re hiding all the time You know it′s true… I′m crazy for you…
[Talking] I′ll try to be alright just stay around
How can I find the right things to say? I don′t even know that you′re feeling this way Baby, I′m tired of letting you down
Don′t even know that I′m letting you down
Tell your momma, your daddy, your sister You tell ′em that I′m letting you down girl
How can I find the right things to say? I don′t even know that you′re feeling this way Baby, I′m tired of letting you down
Tell your momma, your daddy, your sister You tell ′em that I′m letting you down girl [x6]
The sky is painted black The smoke pours out the stack One hand upon your heart One hand behind your back You train us how to act You keep the fear intact The imminent attack Everything is right on track
And we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with it
Upon our plates to feed The dying left to bleed How much we really need Your politics of greed The cancer takes ahold The wolf is in the fold Our destiny′s been sold We do just what we′re told
And we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with it
Your armies filled with hate Believing your charade Begin to suffocate For us it′s far too late
And we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with it
It ain′t no fun lying down to sleep And there ain′t no secrets left for me to keep I wish the stars up in the sky Would all just call in sick And the clouds would take the moon out On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn′t bend But somehow they drove me back here once again To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul I wish I′d just burn down this place that we called home It would all have been so easy If you′d only made me cry And told me how you′re leaving me To some organ grinder′s lullaby
It′s hard, so hard - it′s tearing out my heart It′s hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue And the neighbor′s dog don′t bark like he used to Well - me, these days I just miss you - it′s the nights that I go insane Unless you′re coming back for me That′s one thing I know that won′t change
It′s hard, so hard - it′s tearing out my heart It′s hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said I′ll draw you a heart And we′ll find you somebody else new But I′ve made my last trip to those carnival lips When I bet all that I had on you
It′s hard, it′s hard, it′s hard, so hard It′s hard letting you go It′s hard, so hard, it′s tearing out my heart But it′s hard letting you go
