Lyrics
I don't wanna say I'm sorry
The damage has been done
I gotta tell you now before you hear it from someone
Said it's time to clear the air
'Cause I have not been true
Hiding what I'm doing
Loving not just you
I don't know
Why I did what I did, but I cannot change the past
I don't know
Why I keep on sneaking behind your back
I don't wanna be untruthful
I don't wanna see you cry
I don't wanna make you hate me
But I can't keep up the lie
And I don't wanna see you hurting
But I just can't play the part
This is not a happy ending
It's the story of a broken heart
I've been lying for a while
Could not let you go
I may say I need my space
But I never ever sleep alone
And when he pulls me in his arms
And my lips are touching his
I can see your face
I really know what guilty is
I don't know
Why I keep on telling stories every night
I don't know
Why I did what I did but I gotta make it right
I don't wanna be untruthful
I don't wanna see you cry
I don't wanna make you hate me
But I can't keep up the lie
And I don't wanna see you hurting
But I just can't play the part
This is not a happy ending
It's the story of a broken heart
Come on baby won't you try and see
That the villain here is me
You will find somebody new
Who will love you and stay true
What I cannot do
I don't wanna be untruthful
I don't wanna see you cry
I don't wanna make you hate me
But I can't keep up the lie
And I don't wanna see you hurting
But I just can't play the part
This is not a happy ending
It's the story of a broken heart
I don't wanna be untruthful
I don't wanna see you cry
I don't wanna make you hate me
But I can't keep up the lie
And I don't wanna see you hurting
But I just can't play the part
This is not a happy ending
It's the story of a broken heart
