holdin' me like you don't mean it
Makin' out like I don't know 
How this movie ends but I've seen it
and I cried as the credits rolled

Makin' love like it's a duty
Sayin' words that sound like a lie
to your conscience this might be soothing
but it only makes me slowly die

Break my heart
so I can mend it
make me start forgetting you
break my heart
so I can hand it
to somebody new
somebody new

Girl it ain't showing me no mercy
to leave a little at a time
if you really want to help me, hurt me
so bad I finally draw the line
