[Chorus] Talk back trembling lips Shaky legs don't just stand there Don't let her know that she's getting through with you Talk back trembling lips Burning eyes don't start crying Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two Everyday our love's a battle royal Dear, it seems that fighting's all we do But if I let you know how much I love you You'll do things to me you shouldn't do so [Chorus] Every time you up and hurt my feelings I pretend it couldn't matter less I'm just hiding all of my emotions Behind my broken heart I guess so [Chorus] Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two
