Don't be that way Fall apart twice a day I just wish you could feel what you say Show, never tell But I know you too well Kind of mood that you wish you could sell If teardrops could be bottled There'd be swimming pools filled by models Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore If "I love you" was a promise Would you break it, if you're honest Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before I don't wanna be you anymore Hands, hands getting cold Losing feeling's getting old Was I made from a broken mold? Hurt, I can't shake We've made every mistake Only you know the way that I break If teardrops could be bottled There'd be swimming pools filled by models Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore If "I love you" was a promise Would you break it, if you're honest Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before I don't wanna be you I don't wanna be you I don't wanna be you... anymore
