You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak won't ever be about you.
You once left me cryin',
And now you're still tryin',
To make amends by saying you'll be true.

Like a fool I played along,
With your cheatin' game.
Now my heart is payin' for,
The things you did with shame.

You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak
Won't ever be about you.

Like a fool I played along,
With your cheatin' game.
Now my heart is payin' for,
The things you did with shame.

You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak
Won't ever be about you.

No, the words I speak
Won't ever be about you...
