[Verse 1]
You cried for her
But you can do better
You should have known better
Even though you didn't want to
You cried for her
That you deserve better
I can't imagine what she did for you, did to you
[Pre Chorus]
I tried, I tried but I really don't understand
I really don't know a man
Who cares the way that you do
I tried, I tried to see it from you eyes
You still see her in twilight
Don't do it to yourself
[Refrian]
She don't love you anyway
If she don't love you she can't stay
I promise you that there'll be brighter days
[Chorus]
Tell me how (tell me how you love somebody)
That's never ever loved somebody
Tell me how you give your heart away (don't give your heart away)
Tell me when you know it started
Tell me when it hurts the hardest
Tell me you won't give your heart away
Ohhh hoooo
[Verse 2]
You cried for him
But you can do better
You deserve better
And even though you didn't want to
You cried for him
And you deserve better
I can't imagine what he did to you, did to you
[Post Chorus]
I tried, I tried (I tried) but I really don't understand
I really don't know a woman
Who cares the way that you do
I tried, I tried to see it through your eyes
You still see him in twilight
Don't do it to yourself
[Refrain]
If he don't love you anyway
If he don't love you he can't stay
I promise you that there'll be brighter days
Ohhhhhh (whoa whoa whoa)
[Chorus]
Tell me how (tell me how you love somebody)
That's never ever loved somebody
Tell me how you give your heart away (heart away, your heart away)
Tell me when you know it started (know it started)
Tell me when it hurts the hardest
Tell me you won't give your heart away (don't give it away)
[Bridge]
They don't love you, don't love you
If they don't love you, like they need to
Tell me how you give, your heart away
All I know is you deserve much more
He should be loving you, yea yes
He gotta be loving you, yea yea yea yea yea, put you first (ohhh ohhh ohhhh)
Hey yeeee ohhhh hoo hoooo
