Lyrics
Baby, won't you listen
Cause time's running out
And I don't know how to get through to you
You make all the motions
You say nothing's changed
Beneath this charade, I'm losing you
Anyone can see the distance growing up between us
It doesn't seem to mean a thing to you
Chorus:
Don't, don't say you're sorry
Don't, don't say it's not me
Don't waste your breath to say I deserve better
Don't say anything
So you made me this promise
You're desperate to keep
You need to believe you?re satisfied
And you won't admit
You made a mistake
But the freedom you crave won't be denied
In your eyes I see that loving me is not enough
But you can't see the decent thing is just to leave
Chorus
I believe in honesty
Even if that means you have to leave
But, baby, please
Chorus
