You don’t have to say you need me
We’ve been down that road before
Need always leads to trust, you know
And trust is a game we don’t play well
And you don’t have to say you want me
Wanting makes you weak and pale
Blink once if you want to be near me
Twice if you’d rather I live in Hell
I would beg you not to leave me but you’re here
I would tell you to walk out on me today
But you’re half a world away
You don’t have to say you forgive me
I don’t wanna make you a liar
You’ve said it so many times before
Thus quoth the raven nevermore
And you don’t have to say you love me
That’s a fire you’ve come to hate
It used to warm your throat like wine
But now you’re burning my valentines
I would beg you not to leave me but you’re here
I would tell you to walk out on me today
But you’re half a world away
Oh, you’re half a world
You’re half a world away
Oh, you’re half a world
You’re half a world away
I would beg you not to leave me but you’re still here
I would tell you to walk out on me today
But you’re half a world away
Oh, you’re half a world
You’re half a world away
Oh, you’re half a world
You’re half a world away
