When you write she doesn't answer
When you go out you see him with her
When you go out you see him with her
She told you she was sick at home
The ring you gave her
The ring you gave her
Thrown away with all the letters
And when you see him with her
And when you see him with her
He doesn't even care at all
As she follows him around like you follow her around
He doesn't even care and your figuring it out
The only way you’re gonna keep somebody around
Well I'm about to let you know
There's something I don't wanna understand
The only way a woman is gonna want a man
The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart
Don't tell her she is the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you got to give
If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live
Just break it apart her heart
Can't you see the way she's crying
Well that's what keeps her trying
As she follows him around like you follow her around
He doesn't even care and your figuring it out
The only way you’re gonna keep somebody around
Well I'm about to let you know
There's something I don't wanna understand
The only way a woman is gonna want a man
The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart
Don't tell her she is the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you got to give
If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live
Just break it apart her heart
Can't you see the way she's crying
Well that's what keeps her trying
She knew that she could have you
And he don't give her what she wants
There's truth about this
And he don't give her what she wants
There's truth about this
You say you want to be noticed
Well if you want to be noticed
Well if you want to be noticed
You gotta learn to break some hearts
Don't try to understand
What I've become, what I've become
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't understand this cruelty
Don't try to understand
What I've become, what I've become
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't understand this cruelty
I don’t understand it’s just not me
I don't understand
But now I see
I don't understand
