I know you tell a lot of lies
But I just past them off
and told myself that it would be alright
But now you see the game as through
You've had enough of me
You move in on to someone that is new
But it's hard for me to understand it all
I can't take it like a man
I've got myself believing
You'll change your mind and stay
It's hard for me to understand
I gave you everything I had
But all my hopes would cast aside
And thrown off gently to end
And man illuminates I cry
Fearing the morning light
The star of yet another empty day
But it's hard for me to understand it all
I can't take it like a man
I've got myself believing
You'll change your mind and stay
Yes, it's hard for me to understand
Yes, it's hard for me to understand it all
I can't take it like a man
I've got myself believing
You'll change your mind and stay
Yes, it's hard for me to understand
Yes, it's hard for me
Oh, it's hard to understand it all
I can't take it, I can't take it like a man
I've even got myself believing that you'll stay
It's hard for me to understand
