There's no use in trying to talk me out of leaving
'Cause lately all your promises have begun to sound like lies
You can tell me what I want to hear but I'll read between the lines
'Cause you can only break my heart so many times

You can cut me with your tongue and leave me bleeding
You can tell me I'm your man and treat me like your fool
You can build me up and break me down and spend my last thin dime
But you can only break my heart so many times

So many times you've looked into my eyes
And told me that you love me
And many times I still believe it's true
But how many times can I reconcile
All the times you've hurt me
When I know the only way to stop this pain
Is to leave you

You can act surprised and say your heart is breaking
You can even start to cry as I'm walking out the door
They say that love has got no pride--well, I'm getting out with mine
You can only break my heart so many times
