Lyrics for I Can't Break the News to Myself

From January to March, I'll tell the world The icy winds make me cry From April Fools Day to June, I'll tell the world My tears are rain, oh, what a lie I just can't tell the world I've lost you Un huh 'Cause I, I can't break the news to myself Oh, no, no, no Oh, no, no, no Oh, no, no, no From July to September, I'll tell the world The burning sun had me down From October to December, I'll tell the world We don't date 'cause I'm snow bound No, I can't tell the world I can't tell them that I've lost you Oh no, I can't 'Cause I can't break the news Oh, I can't break the news Oh, I can't break the news to myself Oh, no, no, no no Oh, no, no, no no Oh, no, no, no no You know I can't I can't tell the world Girl, you know I can't tell them that I've lost you Oh no, I can't 'Cause I can't break the news You know I can't break the news You know I can't break the news to myself
