When you said you'd always be mine
I should've realized
And you'd think I'd have learned by now
That a heart it just don't lie
Oh but you won't see me cryin'
I'll just be cool
And if I thought that were true
I'd only be a fool

Cause behind this borrowed smile
I'm really not alright
I've been cryin' tears of heartache
Every night
I tell myself I'm alright
Somehow I'll make it though
That's just the sad sad ways of a fool

It don't hurt me half as much
To see you with him
For awhile I didn't think I'd make it
With the shape my heart was in
Oh but I'm all done with the hurtin'
Now that I'm over you
And if thought that were true
I'd only be a fool

Cause I know behind this smile
I know I'm not alright
And with every hurtin' heartbeat
Comes the night
So I just tell myself I'm alright
I'm really over you
That's just the sad sad ways of a fool

I tell myself I'm alright
That's the sad sad ways of a fool
