It's funny how quiet can be so loud
we're too ashamed to talk
cause we're too damn proud
pretending not to know about him
pretending not to know about her
we fell and got our feelings hurt

oh well, it's over now
you say you're walking out
he's waiting for you in the car outside
oh well, it's over now
and I'm breaking down
but I'll never bring myself to cry

(chorus)
you can take all the records
you can even take the damn goodbye
better take what you can
cause I'll never let you take my pride
I'll never let you take my pride
gotta put my tears aside
Because I'll never let you take my pride

it's cruel how she needs to see me ache
she'll know that it's real if she sees the hate
did you really need to bring him here
why can't we part with dignity?
it's a pity bout your insecurity

can't believe it's over now
no need to work it out
I'm so releived we never had a child
well, it's over now and I'm breaking down
I gotta clean up this mess you made inside

(chorus)

sha la la la la
sha la la la la
sha la la la la la la
oh well, it's over now
and I'm breaking down
but I'll never bring myself to cry
(chorus to fade-ou
