In My Own Way

If only you knew how to win some prizes
If only you knew how to play
If you could sleep nights, stop your crying
Then you might find out I still love you in my own way

If that's not enough then I am so sorry I met you
It was almost like leading you on
But there's more to it all
Then just wringing your heart out
Over something that keeps on going wrong

So don't tell me you love me
How am I supposed to know what that means?
No don't sell emotion
You can't find emotion
If you're falling apart at the seams

I hope that you smile when you reach your conclusion
I hope that you know just what to say
But if it should mena that the party is over
You should know that I still love you
You should know that I still love you
You should know that I still love you
In my own way
In my own way
In my own way
In my own way
In my own way
