Mannhattan - Convince Me, Otherwise Lyrics

How do I convince you that you never meant a thing to me
What words do I use when you're in my arms crying
And how do I express those words to make you walk away
To leave me now and go to smile again another day

Cause it's my own mistakes that only hurt you for the start
And even though it's not the way I feel, we have to part

And I, I know it's better for you this way
For you to hate me now and push me from your grace
And thought it kills me to tell you lies
I gotta make you think, that I never cared about your life

I know I must move forward with the end of this affair
It's time to put myself aside, time to show you care
Lord provide the strength to do, that I don't want to do
To hide the truth and tell you, that I never really loved you

Cause it's my own mistakes that only hurt you for the start
And even though it's not the way I feel, we have to part

And I, I know it's better for you this way
For you to hate me now and push me from your grace
And thought it kills me to tell you lies
I gotta make you think, that I never cared about your life

And if you thought that I still cared for you
You might not walk away from me even though you really ought too
And though I'll miss your laugh and all the joy within your eyes
I'll be content with knowing that it's there with me aside

And I, I know it's better for you this way
For you to hate me now and push me from your grace
And thought it kills me to tell you lies,
I gotta make you think, yes I gotta make you think
I gotta make you think, that I never cared about your life
