How many tears does it take
Maybe I don't have it in me
You'll be letting go soon

I can't stand to be with you tonight
Still the phone lies in my sight
And I pretend I don't see it

Shut my eyes
I'll shut you out
At least until it doesn't hurt so bad
We both know who the strong one is
So I won't bother to try
I won't bother to try

There is still time to take it back
Someone says, hoping to help
But nothing helps at all
It's just the thought makes me cringe
But then again then againso do you
so do you sometimes

Shut my eyes
I'll shut you out
At least until it doesn't hurt so bad
We both know who the strong one is
So I won't bother to try
I won't bother to try

And you say we speak in different tongues
And you say you say you don't understand me
I think you're right
So maybe I'm so stupid
I thought those tears were real
And you hurt me the last time

Shut my eyes, I'll shut you out
At least until it doesn't hurt so bad
We both know who the strong one is
So I won't bother
Shut my eyes, I'll shut you out
At least until it doesn't hurt so bad
We both know who the strong one is
So I won't bother to try, I won't bother to try
I won't bother to try
