How Can You

[Verse 1]
You come and you tell me
About a dream wonderland
Perfect in detail
And scrupulously planned
Tell me my future
As seen through your eyes
Get so frustrated
At my lack of surprise

[Pre-Chorus]
But I've got something
That maybe you oughta know
And I'm gonna tell you
Before you expect much
Just don't expect much from me!

[Chorus]
Because how can you take a love that's been stolen?
How can you break what's already broken?
I just can't take it, it don't do nothing for me
How can I speak without hurting feelings?
Sentences picked; I've started her screaming
Please realise, you're just a good friend to me
Yeah!

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
You talk so reassuringly
About a bad patch in time
And a sun will come shining
To melt the frost from my heart
Bubbling laughter
And an innocent grin
You can tell I'm in pain
But you can't feel the pain that I'm in

[Pre-Chorus]
You strive hard for the things that you want
No time or talent is spared
Tell me I'm foolish and only afraid
But my feelings run way
My feelings run way beyond scared!

[Chorus]
How can you take a love that's been stolen?
How can you break what's already broken?
I just can't take it, it don't do nothing for me
How can I speak without hurting feelings?
Sentences picked; I've started her screaming
Please realise, you're just a good friend to me
Yeah!

[Outro]
How can you take a love that's been stolen?
How can you break what's already broken?
I just can't take it, it don't do nothing for me...
