Why didn't you tell me that the only reason Why you walked away Is you were afraid I might leave you? And why didn't you tell me that the only reason For the things you'd say Is you were afraid I didn't need you? And now that you've done everything you could To make me lose my faith in you You say, "Come on, believe me" And now that you've done everything you could To make me lose my desire for you You say, "Please, don't leave me" Why didn't you tell me that the only people That you push that far Are the ones that you really love? And why the night we were talking And walking under the West Side Highway Did you say, "This would never ever be enough?" And now that you've done everything you could To make me lose my faith in you You say, "Believe me" And now that you've done everything you could To make me lose my desire for you You say, "Please, don't leave me" You try so hard to explain You try so hard to take the blame I don't mind what you say There's the line I can't stay, now
