You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

    When I said I needed you, you said you would always stay. It wasn*t me who changed, but you. And now you*ve gone away. Don*t you see that now you*ve gone and I*m left here on my own, that I have to follow you and beg¹ you to come home?
    You don*t have to say you love me; just be close at hand. You don*t have to stay forever². I will understand. Believe me, believe me. I can*t help but love you. But, believe me, I*ll never tie you down. Left alone with just a memory. Life seems dead and so unreal. All that*s left is loneliness³; there is nothing left to feel.
