Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to cry myself to sleep 'cause it was supposed to hurt
We sat next to the fire as the flame was burning out
I knew what you were thinkin' before you'd say it aloud
Don't say you're sorry 'cause I'm not even breaking
You're not worth the time that this is taking
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
Every time you lie
Every time you lie
I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face
And a long list of gentlemen, happy to take your place
Less trashier, much classier then who you prove to be
How long's it gonna take before you see that she's no me, oh no
I knew better than to let you break my heart
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars, oh no no
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
At night awake
I won't be sleeping 'til morning breaks
That's the price you pay, for your mistakes
Goodbye to dreaming
So don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm not gonna listen
I knew better than to let you break my heart
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars, oh no no
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
Every time you lie
Don't say you're sorry
Every time you lie
Don't say you're sorry
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie

Now you told me on a Sunday that it wasn't gonna work
You waited until Sunday, the end of the week, to tell me it wasn't going to work
I tried to cry myself to sleep 'cause it was supposed to hurt
I tried to force myself to feel the hurt I was supposed to feel
We sat next to the fire as the flame was burning out
We sat next to the fire as our relationship was fading away
I knew what you were thinkin' before you'd say it aloud
I could read your thoughts before you could even vocalize them
Don't say you're sorry 'cause I'm not even breaking
Don't apologize because I'm not hurt by your actions
You're not worth the time that this is taking
You're not worth the time I'm wasting on you
I knew better than to let you break my heart
I was smart enough to not let you hurt me emotionally
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars
I won't let you see the emotional scars you've left on me
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes
You still have feelings for her, I can see it in the way you look at her
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
All I can hear is the truth every time you lie to me
I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face
I woke up the next morning happy to be moving on
And a long list of gentlemen, happy to take your place
I have a long list of men who are eager to replace you
Less trashier, much classier then who you prove to be
These men are of higher quality and more respectable than you
How long's it gonna take before you see that she's no me, oh no
How long will it take for you to realize that I'm irreplaceable?
At night awake
At night, when I'm awake
I won't be sleeping 'til morning breaks
I won't be able to sleep until the morning comes
That's the price you pay, for your mistakes
That's the consequence you have to face for your actions
Goodbye to dreaming
Goodbye to the dreams I had with you
So don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm not gonna listen
Don't apologize because I won't forgive you
Every time you lie
Every time you tell a lie
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
All I can hear is the truth every time you lie to me
