Lyrics
Verse:
You?ve beat around the bush so many times
Grass won?t grow there anymore
And when you try to say what?s on your mind
I get a funny feeling that I?ve never had before
Chorus:
Look me straight in the heart and tell me that you?re leaving
Look me straight in the heart if you think it?s time to go
I?ve got to see it in your eyes to know you really mean it
If you think it?s time we part, look me straight in the heart
Verse:
Seems like it was only yesterday
Love was thriving in this place.
And though you tell me everything?s O.K.
I see your love changing, it?s written on your face
Chorus:
Look me straight in the heart and tell me that you?re leaving
Look me straight in the heart if you think it?s time to go
I?ve got to see it in your eyes to know you really mean it
If you think it?s time we part, look me straight in the heart
Bridge:
You know it?s wrong. With love this strong
If you left me all alone, to just wake up and find you gone
Repeat chorus:
