Who are you
 Are you someone that I knew
 Or did you come and go inside a dream
 Well, you look the same
 Even though you say you've changed
 You can't hide the shame of a guilty heart
 Well, I know there's a reason love don't always rhyme
 So you think by leavin' you're not wasting precious time
 Love's not always happiness
 Sad, but it's true, girl

 Will you try just one more man
 And trade a thrill that's gone for a brand new start

 Until you leave him lonely
 When he tries to change and tame your restless heart

 So you think by leavin' you're not wasting precious time
 Love's not always happiness
