Il testo della How do you tell someone (you don't love them)

Tina says, "don't talk to me like i am deaf and dumb
We've broken down and broken up so much that i am numb
Talk about, don't shout about the people we've become
There's a little girl who's crying over here"

Michael says, "don't shout at me like i was born a fool
You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel
Nothing's fair in love and war so please, let's make some rules
There's a little boy who's crying over here"

Did you ever know me?
I swear that i have tried
Did you ever need me?
I feel like i just died
Did you ever want me?
I swear that i have tried

How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

Tina says, "the pictures that we took are put away
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say
There's a little girl who's crying over here"

Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box
His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock
There's a little boy who's crying over here

Did you ever know me?
I swear that i have tried
Did you ever need me?
I feel like i just died
Did you ever want me?
I swear that i have tried

How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

(fighting makes me tired)
In my eyes
(crying makes me tired)
There's a spy
(hurting makes me tired)
Hold me tight
(lying makes me tired)

Tina says, "i wish that i had never seen your smile
Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file
All i've got's my dignity, so i will leave in style
There's a million of us crying over here"

Did you ever know me?
I swear that i have tried
Did you ever need me?
I feel like i just died
Did you ever want me?
I swear, i swear

How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore

Any time i talk to you there's no one listening
Every time i reach for you there's no one there
Everywhere i look for you, you're no where to be found
