Used To Bad News Lyrics
Just let me hear it from your lips
It's the last thing that I'll ask you to say
Don't wanna hear it from strangers
If it's over let me have it straight
I've been used
But I'm takin' it like a man
I'm confused
But I'm doin' the best that I can
I've been tossed around plenty before
I've had this heart of mine broken and more
I can't find a reason for sure
But I've gotten used to bad news
(can't find me a reason for sure)
Don't tell me why
Yes it's over I can see the end
But please don't lie
If you're leavin' me like a friend
I've been tossed around plenty of times
And I've read between all the lines
You're just another in the grand design
And I've gotten used to bad news
I know what you're sayin' is bad
It's not what I wanted but I'm ready for that
I'm ready for that, yea.
I've been used
But I'm takin' it like a man
I'm confused
But I'm doin' the best that I can
I've been tossed around plenty before
I've had this heart of mine broken and more
I can't find a reason for sure
But I've gotten used to bad news
(can't find me a reason for sure)
It's the last thing that I'll ask you to say
Don't wanna hear it from strangers
If it's over let me have it straight
But I'm takin' it like a man
I'm confused
But I'm doin' the best that I can
I've had this heart of mine broken and more
I can't find a reason for sure
But I've gotten used to bad news
(can't find me a reason for sure)
Yes it's over I can see the end
But please don't lie
If you're leavin' me like a friend
And I've read between all the lines
You're just another in the grand design
And I've gotten used to bad news
It's not what I wanted but I'm ready for that
I'm ready for that, yea.
But I'm takin' it like a man
I'm confused
But I'm doin' the best that I can
I've had this heart of mine broken and more
I can't find a reason for sure
But I've gotten used to bad news
(can't find me a reason for sure)

I need the tabs for this song! The guitar solo is just so... Inspirational! Makes me happy every time I hear it! I really don't understand why this song didn't get popular with the rest.
Yeah, Mike pretty much hit this one. A girl's fixin' to break up with him, but probably feels bad about it. He just wants her to get it over with. Waiting for a breakup is a long, exasperating process sometimes...
This was the second Boston song written exclusively by lead singer Brad Delp. The lyrics are real tight and they flow beautifully. It's a great song and fits in to the second Boston album perfectly.
