Don't Say You Love Me

You're dancing between the lines,
Forever searching for the greener side.
So you string me up from the streetlight
To wait for your signal.
Your worn out white lies.

And there you go again,
Saying what I knew you'd say.
There you go again,
Thinking you'll get your way.
There you go again,
And every word's bringing me down, down, down, down.

You stood beside me when things
Were going my way.
Then turned your back
When it started getting crazy.
And when there's nothing you can say,
You turn your head and look away.
Don't say you love me.

So spare me the lines,
Stop reminiscing on better times.
I've freed all that pain from my troubled mind.
You had it, you knew it,
You let it slip away.

And there you go again,
Saying what I knew you'd say.
There you go again,
Thinking you'll get your way.
There you go again,
This time I'm shutting you down.

You stood beside me when things
Were going my way.
Then turned your back
When it started getting crazy.
And when there's nothing you can say,
You turn your head and look away.
So turn and look away.

So tell me your sorry, tell me you hate me,
It's all the same.
Of all the things you could say to me,
Of all the things,
Don't say you love me.

I'm still standing here,
As you walk away.
Not a tear to shed,
Not a word to say.
Don't you ever look back.

You stood beside me when things
Were going my way.
Then turned your back
When it started getting crazy.
And when there's nothing you can say,
You turn your head and look away.
And when there's nothing you can say,
You turn your head and look away.
Don't say you love me.
