Lyrics

All this time we’ve crept around
Can’t be myself, you put me down
Care and duty ease your guilt
The hidden truth you won’t admit
Then picking up the telephone
I’m trembling as I try to say
I understand what you’ve been through
And dare to ask what I already knew

It can’t be true
It can’t be true
Words left unspoken for so long
Clinging to hope I could be wrong
But now I know all hope is gone
The day you told me you don’t love me

Been so long this silence looms
The rift so wide between me and you
Crushing pain of memories blurred
My crying heart you’ve never heard
The tough demeanor that I feign
You deemed I didn’t need you again
But inside I felt I was never enough
What does it take to have your love

It can’t be true
It can’t be true
Words left unspoken for so long
Clinging to hope I could be wrong
But now I know all hope is gone
The day you told me you don’t love me

Oh how do I face this stark finality
How do I face this raw reality
Feels like more than I can take
But love is felt and cannot be faked
No, no, please, no
No, no, please, please, no

It can’t be true
It can’t be true
Words left unspoken for so long
Clinging to hope I could be wrong
But now I know all hope is gone
The day you told me you don’t love me
The day you showed me you betrayed me
The day you told me you don’t love me
