Don't say you love me Then jump right out of bed If I scream at the top of my lungs It would only hurt my head Because I know that you're nowhere near That's the last thing that I need to hear, oh yeah Don't say you love me But you need a little space What good is that emotion If I can't look you in the face Being made a fool is my biggest fear That's the last thing that I need to hear, oh yeah Don't write love letters And start them out "Dear John" Don't tell me not to leave you When I'm already gone And if it's true let me make it clear That's the last thing that I need to hear, oh yeah Don't promise that you'll love me Until the end of time You say you'll deny me But you're already mine But it's up to you so don't shed a tear Because you know damn well what I wanna hear
