If you say that you don't love me
that's fine look me in the eye
and say it to me again
as i look at you and cry
If you can say it to me
then i'll believe it's true
and I'll try to go on living my life
pretending I don't love you
I know it would only be pretending
and I think you know it would
because if you asked me to tell you I don't love you
I don't think I could
In fact I know it would be impossible
what's in my heart is real
so if you told me you don't love me
I know exactly how I'd feel
It would be like dying
only I'd have to stay alive
with only an empty shell
continuing to survive
It'd be like losing everything
and having to stay a float
only there's a hole in the side
of my ever sinking life boat
So if you don't want to be with me
just remember these words i've said
don't tell me you don't love me
keep it to yourself instead
