The Truth

He says "I love you."
He means, "Don't leave me here alone."
She says "I need you."
She means "Don't hang up the phone."
Cause then it's just me, hearing myself breathe

He says "I want you."
And he means it when he says it
Even though he'll regret it
That's later, it could all be gone by then

She says "You like me."
Cause she doesn't quite believe it
Invites the challenge, keeps it
She knows it's a fine line, between here and gone

He'll say "I'm leaving."
What he means is "I'm lonely."
She'll say "Go, then"
What she means is, "Just hold me."
And they'll say "Goodbye."
Because they never heard each other right

This is what we're up against
And I know how hard it can get

This is what we're up against
But everything I said, I meant
