Around here, it's the hardest time of year   Waking up, the days are even gone   The collar of my coat, Lord help me, cannot help the cold   The rain drops sting my eyes, I keep them closed      But I'm feelin' no pain   I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend   Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?      Say it ain't so, say I'm happy again   Say it's over, say I'm dreaming   Say I'm better than you left me   Say you're sorry, I can take it      Say you'll wait, say you won't   Say you love me, say you don't   I can make my own mistakes   Let it bend before it breaks      I'm alright, don't I seem to be?   Aren't I swinging on the stars? Don't I wear them on my sleeve?   Went looking for a crossroads, it happens every day   And whichever way you turn, I'm gonna turn the other way      Say it's over, say I'm dreaming   Say I'm better than you left me   Say you're sorry, I can take it      Say you'll wait, say you won't   Say you love me, say you don't   I can make my own mistakes   Learn to let it bend before it breaks      Say it's over, say I'm dreaming   Say I'm better than you left me   Say you're sorry, I can take it      Say you'll wait, say you won't   Say you love me, say you don't   I can make my own mistakes   Let it bend before it breaks
