How Do You Tell Someone

I swear, I swear

Did you ever need me?
Did you ever know me?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
I feel like I just died
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
Did you ever want me?
Every time I reach for you there's no one there
Michael says, "Don't shout at me like I was born a fool

How do you tell someone you don't love them?
I feel like I just died
I swear that I have tried
I swear that I have tried
Did you ever know me?
Hold me tight

There's a little boy who's crying over here"
I feel like I just died
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

I swear that I have tried
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
(Hurting makes me tired)
Did you ever need me?

In my eyes
There's a spy
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?

(Lying makes me tired)
(Crying makes me tired)
Any time I talk to you there's no one listening
Did you ever want me?
Talk about, don't shout about the people we've become
There's a little boy who's crying over here
(Fighting makes me tired)

Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say
Did you ever need me?

All I've got's my dignity, so I will leave in style
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock
Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file

There's a million of us crying over here"
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Nothing's fair in love and war so please, let's make some rules
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
I swear that I have tried
There's a little girl who's crying over here"
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box
His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock
Did you ever want me?
Tina says, "The pictures that we took are put away
There's a little girl who's crying over here"
Did you ever know me?

I swear that I have tried

How do you tell someone you don't love them?
Tina says, "I wish that I had never seen your smile
You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel
