But even if I made a vow I promise not to miss you now And try to hide the truth inside I fell 'cause I, I just can't live a lie Oh, I know I could say we're through And tell myself I'm over you No, I can't learn to live without Oh, I can't live a lie

Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up Just stay this little It could stay this simple Wish I'd never grown up I won't let nobody hurt you Won't let no one break your heart Just try to never grow up And even though you want to Oh I

I'll make my own mistakes Even though I never learn I'm running from myself If only you could see behind my eyes Gather round my friends I need a match and only one match I think it's time I make my own way I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not

In case you didn't know That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long, long time ago I can't count the times I almost said what's on my mind Just the other day I wrote down all the things I'd say

If I could tell her But we're a million worlds apart And I don't know how I would even start But he kept it all inside his head What he saw he left unsaid Tell her everything I see How she's everything to me He thought you were awesome

In case you didn't know That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long, long time ago I can't count the times I almost said what's on my mind Just the other day I wrote down all the things I'd say

And even if somehow you could have shown you the place you wanted In a foreign place the saving grace was the feeling That it was a heart that he was stealing Oh, he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement The eyes are bright; he couldn't wait to

I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it even if I could I wouldn't help it, no Looking in my mirror Took me by surprise I can't help but see you Running often through my mind Helpless like a baby Sensual disguise

This morning, this morning Nobody knows the way I feel this morning I feel like I could scream and cry I even hate to hear your name Nobody knows the way I feel If I'd only had my way The graveyard would be the place My man would lay I'm true out on it

In case you didn't know That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long, long time ago I can't count the times I almost said what's on my mind Just the other day I wrote down all the things I'd say
