I Can’t Tell You What You Want To Hear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
