Too Many Nights

Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years

Too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend

I thought that I could make it on my own
And the thought of starting over again
Scared me into staying here with you
Long after all the heartache began
I'm through with waiting in an empty bed
One for dinner when it should be two
I'm tired of holding back what should be said
I'm gonna let it go and stand up to you

Hey, too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend

My pride was swallowed one too many times
I've kept on turning my back on the truth
Now I'm as serious as a heart attack
'Coz I've decided baby, we're through
I'm growing stronger from experience
The woman in me's taking a stand
You taught me good, I learned my lesson well
And I'm never gonna let it happen again, no

Too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend

I'm gonna turn the page
Put heartache in the past
I gotta think about getting strong
And I'll put all those memories on the shelf
And make the space for someone else

(Too many nights I've waited around for you)
Too many nights
(Too many nights)
Too many nights
Hey, too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
(I'm through)
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend

Too many nights I've waited around for you
I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I cried, cried, cried
Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years
