When You Say You Love

You said that you were waiting
For the moment to pass
And I wondered if you knew
That each before you had said that
You seemed to know the script
Before the words had left your mouth
And if I'd wondered up 'til then
Well, I sure as hell know now

That when you say you love
You really mean to say you love
The me you're dreaming up
And when you look my way
You see it in my eyes
So you say it just because
When you say you love
You never say you don't love me enough

Well, I met a man last summer
Who knew everything I'd done
And he treated me like who I was
And who I could become
But somewhere he decided
That he could never be mine
And I never even thought to ask
Whatever made him try

And when you say you love
You really mean to say you love
The me you're dreaming up
And when you look my way
You see it in my eyes
So you say it just because
When you say you love
You never say you don't love me enough

You would not believe
How many times I've hurt the same
Maybe if you did
You would have told me I'm to blame
But sometimes when I'm sleeping
I can hear him through the door
Whispering through cracks
That were never there before

So when you say you love
I know you mean it well
But there is more I'm dreaming of
And when you look my way
If you see it in my eyes
Please don't say it just because
And when you feel some rush
Say something but don't ever say it's love
