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?
