Just let me hear it from your lips

It's the last thing that I'll ask you to say

Don't wanna hear it from strangers

If it's over let me have it straight



I've been used, but I'm takin' it like a man

I'm confused, but I'm doin' the best that I can



Chorus:

I've been tossed around plenty before

I've had this heart of mine broken and more

I can't find me a reason for sure

But I've gotten used to bad news (can't find me a reason for sure)



Don't tell me why, yes it's over I can see the end

But please don't lie if you're leavin' me like a friend



I've been tossed around plenty of times

And I've read between all the lines

You're just another in the grand design

And I've gotten used to bad news



I know what you're sayin' is bad

It's not what I wanted but I'm ready for that

I'm ready for that, yea



I've been used, but I'm takin' it like a man

I'm confused, but I'm doin' the best that I can



chorus
