Sometimes a man and a woman make plans And then change in the middle of the stream Why does the flame die and where does the blame lie And what becomes of their dreams Will I be starting on my own again brand new Or will I be rebuilding what I once had with you (tell me) Say You don't need me and I'll be gone Say that you love me and I'll come home I can take anything but standing in the dark. Don't hold nothing back please say what's in your heart We always said we'd tell each other everything What we were feeling deep inside Now when I see your eyes, no matter how you try You're feelin' something you can't hide Everyone knows the way that love's supposed to be But in the real world there ain't no guarantees Say You don't need me and I'll be gone Say that you love me and I'll come home I can take anything but standing in the dark. Don't hold nothing back please say what's in your heart I'll still love you no matter what you say I'll stand beside you but I won't stand in your way Say You don't need me and I'll be gone Say that you love me and I'll come home I can take anything but standing in the dark. Don't hold nothing back please say what's in your heart
