lyrics

Was it something I said?
Or something I didn't know how to say?
What exactly happened
To make the person you were into who you are today?
You've drawn these schematics and measured these lines
You've made sure all your actions are brilliantly justified
‘Cause you'd hate to think you're making a mistake
At least not right now, not until it's too late

And if I seem surprised…
Don't believe it
I've been practicing playing this part
For longer than you know
Rehearsing these lines
“Yeah I'll be okay”
“I'll be fine”
“Don't worry about me”
And all the while, breaking your heart
With my casual surrender

Did it catch you off guard
The grace with which I could acknowledge the end?
What did you expect?
To see my heart on my sleeve, begging you not to leave?
Well, I'm down on my knees
Not pleading but dying
But this is a side of me you'll never see
I'd rather die than admit this is killing me

And if I seem surprised…
Don't believe it
I've been practicing playing this part
For longer than you know
Rehearsing these lines
“Yeah I'll be okay”
“I'll be fine”
“Don't worry about me”
And all the while, breaking your heart
With my casual surrender

For you, no truce
No armistice will do
Tonight you play for keeps
I play for sympathy

And if I seem surprised…
Don't believe it
I've been practicing playing this part
For longer than you know
Rehearsing these lines
“Yeah I'll be okay”
“I'll be fine”
“Don't worry about me”
And all the while, breaking your heart
With my casual surrender
