As You Cry

I'm a halfhearted fool with a heart that's broke in two
A quarter and a kiss is all I should be worth to you
I must be the last of my kind, cause you treasure me despite all the signs
But love is disappearing, and darlin', you shouldn't even try

After every fight, we always wonder what we're fighting for
Mint me up and mark me, yeah, you stole me but I am not yours

As you cry, I wanna lie
Say, 'I love you so'
Darlin' even though I don't
There's no easy way to ease the pain
Woah, roses and the tulips have withered away
They had their day
So it's time to say goodnight and goodbye

You're so bright that you shine right through
All the problems that I always try to lay on you
Won't you take me off trial, and won't you get some air in this room?
I can't believe in what I cannot hold inside of my hand
Won't let nobody in who might decide to mess up the plan
I'd be a liar if I told you that we would work out

After every fight, we always wonder what we're fighting for
Mint me up and mark me, yeah, you stole me but I am not yours

As you cry, I wanna lie
Say, 'I love you so'
Darlin' even though I don't
There's no easy way to ease the pain
Woah, roses and the tulips have withered away
They had their day
And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye

Nobody's singing about you anymore
You thought you heard it
Well, you must have heard wrong
It's my business and that's alright
Don't you see that?

As you cry, I wanna lie
Say, 'I love you so'
Darlin' even though I don't
There's no easy way to ease the pain
The roses and the tulips have withered away
They had their day
And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye
Goodbye
