Now and then,
I take a walk back down the year
And I laugh at the broken hearts
I never felt the slightest pain
When my love life fell apart
If you think I'm being hard on you,
you're unrequited
I never promised any
body the moon and stars
Cause I couldn't handle the tears
Once in a while when I run into old friends
They say their big day's coming soon
They take that long walk down the aisle
And then the song goes out of tune
I've seen it happen so much more
Than I care to remember
An d now I'm not about to
throw my life away
Because I couldn't handle
the tears
I can't believe
That life holds nothing more
Life holds nothing more
I'm not allowed to be under
the law for years
Cause I can't handle the
tears
So if you think I'm being hard
On the unrequited
I never promised anybody
the moon and stars
Cause I couldn't handle it
I've seen it happen so much more
Than I can to remember
Now I'm not about to
throw my life away
Cause I couldn't handle the tears
You couldn't handle my tears
Lord, handle my tears
Oh no, oh no
I couldn't handle the tears
You couldn't stand to see me crying
Lord, crying
You I always, always end up cryin'
Now I'm cryin'
You know how hard I've tried
To keep you satisfied
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I gave you everything
I gave your life for this
You me everything
Oh yeah
Gonna keep you sanitized
Gon na keep you sanitized
Like a handle of tea
You're gonna have my tea
You're gonna have my
tea
No matter where I go
Oh yeah
No, no
You're gonna get
