As You Cry
The Hush Sound
I'm a half-hearted fool
With a heart that's broke in two
A quarter and a kiss
Is all I should be worth to you
I must be the last of my kind
'Cause you treasure me
Despite all the signs
Your love is disappearing
And darling, you shouldn't even try
After every fight
We always wonder what we're fighting for
Mint me up and mark me
Yeah, you stole me
But I am not yours
As you cry, I wanna lie
Say, "I love you so, darling"
Even though I don't
There's no easy way to ease the pain, whoa
Roses and the tulips have withered away
They had their day
So it's time
To say goodnight and goodbye
You're so bright
That you shine right through
All the problems that I always
Try and lay on you
Won't you take me off, darling?
Won't you get some air in this room?
I can't believe
What I cannot hold inside of my hand
Won't let nobody in
Who might decide to mess up the plan
I'd be a liar if I told you
That we would work out
After every fight
We always wonder what we're fighting for
Mint me up and mark me
Yeah, you stole me
But I am not yours
As you cry, I wanna lie
Say, "I love you so, darling"
Even though I don't
There's no easy way to ease the pain, whoa
Roses and the tulips have withered away
They had their day
So it's time
To say goodnight and goodbye
Nobody's singing about you anymore
You thought you heard it?
Well, you must have heard wrong
It's my business
And that's all right
Don't you see that?
As you cry, I wanna lie
Say, "I love you so, darling"
Even though I don't
There's no easy way to ease the pain, whoa
Roses and the tulips have withered away
They had their day
So it's time
To say goodnight and goodbye
Goodbye
