Around here, it's the hardest time of year Waking up, the days are even gone Well, the collar of my coat Help me, cannot help the cold Well, the raindrops sting my eyes I keep them closed I'm feelin' no pain Only the 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 That you love me or you don't I can make my own mistakes Let it bend before it breaks I'm all right Don't I always seem to be? Aren't I swinging on the stars? Don't I wear them on my sleeve? And when you're looking for a crossroads It happens every day And whichever way you turn I've gotta turn the other way And 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 That you love me or you don't I can make my own mistakes Let it bend before it breaks
