I Can’t Tell You What You Want To Hear

[Verse]
When we met I thought it must be fate
Destiny would never show up late
I made you laugh and you made me smile 
And I fell in love after a while 
I thought our future was intertwined 
But found out the stars were misaligned 

[Verse]
I gave you everything that I had 
Stood by you through the good and bad
I loved you and thought you loved me too
One day it was over out of the blue 
You said you’d met the man of your dreams 
I kept it in but I wanted to scream 

[Verse] 
And then you were gone just like that 
You tossed us out at the drop of a hat 
Then six months later I heard from you 
You said he was gone, his love wasn’t true 
Then as I spoke to you on the phone 
You said I love you, I want to come home 

[Chorus]
I can’t tell you what you want to hear
How much I miss you and want you near 
Those feelings they left along with you 
When you told me you’d found someone new
But you saw the grass isn’t always greener 
That did a lot to change your demeanor 
And now you’re begging to come back home 
You made your bed so sleep in it alone 
Those tears won’t change my mind my dear 
I can’t tell you what you want to hear…
No, I won’t tell you what you want to hear 

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
You’d left without input from me
And you seemed happy as you could be 
You didn’t care about how I felt 
Or all of pain that I was dealt
All you cared about was your life
You no longer wanted to be my wife

[Verse]
You should really look before you leap
Because what you so you will reap
You threw what we had into the trash 
Giving up on a love that would last
Now you’re alone, your future is lost 
You took that risk and look what it cost

[Chorus]
I can’t tell you what you want to hear
How much I miss you and want you near 
Those feelings they left along with you 
When you told me you’d found someone new
But you saw the grass isn’t always greener 
That did a lot to change your demeanor 
And now you’re begging to come back home 
You made your bed so sleep in it alone 
Those tears won’t change my mind my dear 
I can’t tell you what you want to hear…
No, I won’t tell you what you want to hear 

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge] 
I remember the day you left 
I tried so hard to make you stay 
All you told me was goodbye 
As I watched you walk away 
On that day you burned that bridge 
And there’s no way you can cross 
The good life you once had is dead 
And I’m so sorry for your loss 

[Final Chorus] 
I can’t tell you what you want to hear
How much I miss you and want you near 
Those feelings they left along with you 
When you told me you’d found someone new
But you saw the grass isn’t always greener 
That did a lot to change your demeanor 
And now you’re begging to come back home 
You made your bed so sleep in it alone 
Those tears won’t change my mind my dear 
I can’t tell you what you want to hear…
No, I won’t tell you what you want to hear
