Sometimes a woman and a man 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 startin' 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 want 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 That we were feeling deep inside Now when I see your eyes, no matter how you try You're feeling something you can't hide Everyone knows the way that love's supposed to be But in the real world there ain't no guarantee, baby Say you don't need me and I'll be gone Say that you want 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, baby Say you don't need me and I'll be gone Say that you want me and I'll come on home I can take anything but standing in the dark Don't hold nothing back, please say what's in your heart Just say what's in your heart
