And I swear to God that I can't hear a word you say
 So would you come to me?
 Come to me
 Well, I get caught up in the waves of conversation
 They wash over me
 And they cover me
 They cover me

 Should I just pack my things and leave?
 Would I be a bigger man if I
 I built a wall around your heart
 And dared you to come in?
 I could lie to you
 Say I didn't mean it
 But hurt's a funny thing
 And it makes you stronger

 CHORUS I
 Well all is nothing in moderation
 It's a dirty feeling
 It makes you stronger
 Well I believe
 I'm just plain tired

 There's a funny way your lip shakes
 When I know that you've been lying
 And it touches me
 I said it comforts me
 It comforts me
 Well I guess I should be satisfied
 When you say you love me half the time
 Well I'll settle there
 We can build from there

 Would you be happier if I
 Was only half the man I am?
 You could shout at me
 And dare me to come in
 I can lie to you
 And say I didn't mean it
 But it really doesn't matter
 When you stop to think about it

 CHORUS I

 CHORUS II
 Say the end is coming
 She don't even feel that
 It's a strange sensation
 I'm almost happy
 Well, I believe
 I'm just plain tired

 I'm tired, yeah, yeah, yeah

 Should I just pack my things and leave?
 Would I be a bigger man if I
 I built a wall around your heart
 Dared you to come in?
 I can lie to you
 Say I didn't mean it
 But hurt's a funny thing
 Hurt's a funny thing

 CHORUS I
