Verse 1

If you don’t love me, let me know,

I can’t stand to be left alone.

If you wish to go, just set me free,

Don’t drag this out, just let it be.

Pre-Chorus (Spoken in a low, sad voice, slowly building to anger)

Don’t leave me in the dark...

I can’t bear this broken heart...

Away from you, I fall apart...

But maybe... maybe I was just a spark,

In a flame... you never meant to start! (voice rising in anger)

Chorus

'Cause it seems to me, you never really cared,

I was just your next, waiting to be spared.

Still, I love you, and I want you to know,

I’m losing sleep, afraid to let you go.

So love me or leave me, but let it show,

Don’t keep me hanging, just let me know.

Verse 2

I’ve waited here for far too long,

Trying to figure where we went wrong.

You pulled me close, then pushed away,

And now I don’t know if I should stay.

Pre-Chorus (Spoken in a low, sad voice, slowly building to anger)

Don’t leave me in the dark...

I can’t bear this broken heart...

Away from you, I fall apart...

But maybe... maybe I was just a spark,

In a flame... you never meant to start! (voice rising in anger)

Chorus

'Cause it seems to me, you never really cared,

I was just your next, waiting to be spared.

Still, I love you, and I want you to know,

I’m losing sleep, afraid to let you go.

So love me or leave me, but let it show,

Don’t keep me hanging, just let me know.

Bridge

I’m holding on, but I can’t see,

If there’s a place for you and me.

If you don’t love me, let me go,

I need to heal, I need to know.

Chorus (Outro)

It seems to me, you never really cared,

I was just your next, waiting to be spared.

Still, I love you, and I want you to know,

I’m losing sleep, afraid to let you go.

So love me or leave me, but let it show,

Don’t keep me hanging, just let me know.
