You Can Tell Him

If you want to see the man who broke my heart

You can tell him by the eyes that pierce the dark

You can tell him by the laugh that fills the room

You can tell him by the arms that feel like home

Tried to tell him he's the only one I want

Tried to tell him he's the sun that brings the dawn

When I'm dreaming

And now he's telling me he's leaving

If you want to see the girl who took my place

You can tell her by the smile that's on her face

You can tell her by the way they're dancing slow

That he loves her and that she knows

I could tell her that it probably won't last

Be as jealous of her future as my past

But there's no healing

When he's telling me he's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving me with no answers

Leaving me with no doubt

Let me feel a love I can't ever live without

And he's leaving me with no shelter

Leaving me with no air

Every morning I'm surprised that I'm still breathing

So if you want to know the reason I went home

I could tell you that I'm trying to move on

I could tell you that I need a change of scenery

But really

I don't want to see the man who broke my heart

I don't want to see those eyes that pierce the dark

I turn a corner and he's there again

And baby I'm still reeling

I don't want to see the new girl in his life

I don't want to see the friends who picked their sides

I don't want to come face to face

With love that I'm still feeling

So if you see the man I love despite our reason

You can tell him that I'm leaving

I'm leaving
