Jaded

It's hard to explain
The way a love can wane under the strain
It's rarely plain
It slowly fades away
It's hard to see when apathy remains

Oh, I tell myself it's just a phase
At times I find it's hard to cope
The truth is that I've been afraid
To hurt the one I love the most

But the waiting can hurt
It's not fair to you
Sometimes staying is worse
And goodbye is the right thing to do
I wish that I had seen it
Now I'm sorry for concealing
The fact that I've been feeling

Jaded
I can't deny I've been craving the nights I once
Hated
And though it's not the same for you
I hope you know I'm wishing you well

Four months time
And this might be insane
I can't shake the thought of how you'd say my name
Remember how you do it?
Yeah I've been going through it
And I wish I had you here to numb the pain
You used to say the same
Ain't it funny how we change?
I saw you just the other day
Don't you think it's kinda strange?
The way you treat me like another
When I used to be your lover

Tell me, is this just a phase?
At times I find it's hard to cope
I guess I didn't know the pain
To lose the one I love the most

And how it was tempting
To say what I thought
But my pride wouldn't let me
No, instead I'm pretending I'm not
Miserable and lonely
While I'm wishing I could be
In a time when I was only

Jaded
I can't deny I've been craving the nights I once
Hated
And I wish it were the same for you
The single life has put me through hell
Oh well

Wasted
Are the words that would have made you stay
'Cause now they'd only make you say "well, well, well"
