You say you need excitement in your life
That I am just a sweater that you wear from time to time
Excitement leads to heartache leads to strife
While sweaters keep you warm against the coldness of the world

What do you get each time you say goodbye
When the indifference of tomorrow is the hatred of today
Should I break down or should I dare to try
When you're so quiet, so quiet, so God damn quiet

He don't know you like I know you
He can't see you like I do
Yet he don't want you like I want you
He don't need you like I do

I bet he's never known the ways of love

You say it doesn't matter anymore
The way I felt but never said, the way you said you felt
My feelings for you burden like a chore
Tomorrows always go too fast, but yesterday's too soon

What do you get each time you say goodbye
When the indifference of tomorrow is the hatred of today
Should I break down or should I dare to try
When you're so quiet, so quiet, so God damn quiet

He don't know you like I know you
He can't see you like I do
Yet he don't want you like I want you
He don't need you like I do

Yet he don't love you like I love you
He can't see you like I do

I bet he's never known the ways of love
I'll swear he's never known the ways of love
