“Okay.”
[Intro] x2
Am G Em F
[1st Verse]
Am G Em F
Sorry doesn’t mean a thing to me anymore
Am G Em F
?Time after time you’ve proved we’re done for
Am G Em F
Although I know this love is hurting me now ?
Am G Em F
I stay and I try to keep hope somehow
[Chorus]
Am G Em F
But Don't
Am G Em F
Don't tell me that you're sorry
Am G Em F
Don't tell me you miss me
Am G Em F
If it ain't true
[2nd Verse]
Am G Em F
You put on a show with impersonal care
Am G Em F
But somehow it's always my cross to bare
Am G Em F
The line between hope and denial is thin
Am G Em F
You're the cause and the cure for this hell that I'm in
[Chorus]
Am G Em F
But don't
Am G Em F
Don't tell me that "it's nothing"
Am G Em F
Don't tell me you forgive me
Am G Em F
If it ain't true
[Verse]
Am G Em F
As time goes on I'm just giving you more
Am G Em F
even if you're gone I'm not free of your lure
Am G Em F
For you nothing's wrong but I'm at the end of my rope
Am G Em F
I Can't hang on, I've lost all hope
[Chorus]
Am G Em F
But don't
Am G Em F
Don't tell me that you're trying
Am G Em F
Don't tell me that you'll see me
Am G Em F
If it ain't true
[Verse]
Am G Em F
So you watch as I go and you don't ask me to stay
Am G Em F
You tell yourself "hey, maybe it's better this way"
Am G Em F
No begging, no crying, no promise of change
Am G Em F
No somber goodbye, all you say is "okay"
[Chorus]
Am G Em F
But don't
Am G Em F
Don't tell me that you're trying
Am G Em F
Don't tell me that you'll see me
Am G Em F
If it ain't true
