It's time to face it
This heart of mine is old and tired since you been gone
I gotta take it
And try to pretend
That I don't care
He'll take you down to the city
In his fast car, you're like a superstar
He'll make you feel so damn pretty, with your friends walking hand in hand
But tell me, oh
How many tears is he gonna cry?
How many roads will he walk to get to you?
For how many years is he gonna try to get you back?
How many words will he put down in a serenade?
What would he do if you stood by another man?
Time to embrace it
I'll be back on the road
While he's taking those pictures of you
I can't even say it
I'm trying not to hold onto the same old song
He'll hold you close like a river
In the dark of the night, like the first time
In his arms you'll just let it go
You may start again, but tell me, I wanna know
How many tears is he gonna cry?
How many roads will he walk to get to you?
For how many years is he gonna try to get you back?
How many words will he put down in a serenade?
What would he do if you stood by another man?
How many girls will I call by your name?
How many songs can I write till we start again?
