How Do You Tell Someone

Tina says don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
We've been 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 cryin' 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
Nothings fare in love and war, so please lets make some rules,
There's a little boy who's cryin' over here

(Chorus)
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,
Words and pencils rhyming with the things you 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 that's crying over here

(Chorus)

Fightin makes me tired
(in my eyes)
lying makes me tired
(there's a smile)
hurting makes me tired
(hold me tight)
lying makes me tired

Tina says I wish that I have never seen you 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
everytime I talk to you there's no one listening
everytime I reach for you there's no one there
everywhere I look for you there's no one to be found
