The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Talk to me sweet and low
Tell me how you love me so
Tell me I'm your flame and your fire
I pretend but I know
What you do and where you go
Boy you're not the only liar
How do I let you go
When loving you is all I know?
But I hold out a little bit longer
Try to be stronger
Then I'm gonna make up my mind
I just keep on pretending
Rewriting the ending
Boy it's going to take me some time
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there
I'm just staring at the rain
Every day looks the same
I can't find the will to care
For the better for the worst
Either way it's gonna hurt
I think it's time to cut off all my hair
I don't want you, but I need you
And it's gone too far to reach you
And so I hold on a little bit longer
Try to be stronger
Than I'm going to make up my mind
I'll just keep on pretending
Changing the ending
Boy it's gonna take me some time
I'm gonna get there
I'm not giving up my life
'Cause you found somebody new
I'm not just walking away
To make it easy for you
So I hold on a little bit longer
Try to be stronger
Yeah yeah yeah
I just keep on pretending
Changing the ending
Boy it's gonna take me some time
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there
