By the time you hear this I'm sure that I'll be better, hum And by the time you hear this I'm sure that I would never, hum Say what I'm about to Since I'm not around you I guess that I'll speak my mind Oh darling, no, I can't lie Don't wanna say: I miss you, but I do Don't wanna say: I miss you, but it's true 'Cause God, it's been so long And I know you moved on Don't wanna say: I miss you, but I do Don't wanna say: I miss you, but it's true 'Cause God, it's been too long And I know you're long gone By the time you hear this I'm sure I'll find a new love, hum Scarlet lips, white sundress Just like the one that you wore, hum When we met in springtime And your hazel-green eyes Were telling me: I'm all yours And I know we ran our course, so Don't wanna say: I miss you, but I do Don't wanna say: I miss you, but it's true 'Cause God, it's been so long And I know you moved on Don't wanna say: I miss you, but I do Don't wanna say: I miss you, but it's true 'Cause God, it's been too long And I know you're long gone And the heart wants What the heart wants But the oldest wounds are the hard ones And I promise I'll be alright But a boy gets lonely sometimes And I could fight But what's the use? Don't wanna say: I miss you, but I do Don't wanna say: I miss you, but it's true 'Cause God, it's been so long And I know you moved on Don't wanna say: I miss you, but I do Don't wanna say: I miss you, but it's true 'Cause God, it's been too long And I know you're long gone
