Around here, it's the hardest time of year

Waking up, the days are even gone


The collar of my coat, Lord help me, cannot help the cold


The rain drops sting my eyes, I keep them closed




But I'm feelin' no pain


I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend

Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?





Say it ain't so, say I'm happy again

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming


Say I'm better than you left me


Say you're sorry, I can take it




Say you'll wait, say you won't


Say you love me, say you don't

I can make my own mistakes


Let it bend before it breaks




I'm alright, don't I seem to be?


Aren't I swinging on the stars? Don't I wear them on my sleeve?


Went looking for a crossroads, it happens every day

And whichever way you turn, I'm gonna turn the other way





Say it's over, say I'm dreaming

Say I'm better than you left me


Say you're sorry, I can take it




Say you'll wait, say you won't


Say you love me, say you don't


I can make my own mistakes

Learn to let it bend before it breaks





Say it's over, say I'm dreaming

Say I'm better than you left me


Say you're sorry, I can take it




Say you'll wait, say you won't


Say you love me, say you don't

I can make my own mistakes


Let it bend before it breaks
