You listened to him say he loved you.
You listened to him say “I do”.
You listened to him make promises
You knew would never come true.
You listened as he made excuses,
And you listened to all of his lies.
Maybe it’s time that you listened instead
To those teardrops in your eyes.
Maybe it’s time you listened to
The sound of your breaking heart.
It’s a sound that you’re familiar with,
A sound that tears you apart.
Maybe it’s time you should let him go
After all these painful years.
You shouldn’t listen to him anymore.
It’s time you started to listen to your tears.
You listened each time that he told you
That he was just out with some friends.
Then you listened as somebody warned you
That he was fooling around once again.
You listened those times when he told you
That no one could take your place,
But did he listen when you cried alone at night,
With the tears rolling down your face?
You listened with hope for the future
Each time that he said he would try
To make you happy, but he never did.
So let him listen as you say goodbye.
