And I hate to say I love you 
When it's so hard for me 
And I hate to say I want you 
When you make it so clear 
You don't want me 

I'd never ask you 'cause deep down I'm certain I know what you'd say 
You'd say, "I'm sorry, believe me, I love you but not in that way." 

And I hate to say I need you 
I'm so reliant 
I'm so dependent 
I'm such a fool 

When you're not there, 
I find myself singing the blues. 
Can't bear, 
Can't face the [bad word] 

You will never know that feeling 
You will never see through these eyes 

I'd never ask you 'cause deep down I'm certain I know what you'd say 
You'd say, "I'm sorry, believe me, I love you but not in that way." 

You'd say, "I'm sorry, believe me, I love you but not in that way.
