[Verse 1]
When I said, I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed, but you
And now you've gone away

[Verse 2]
But don't you know that now you're gone
And I'm left here on my own
Now I have to follow you
And beg you to come home

[Chorus]
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me
Believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down

[Verse 3]
Left alone just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
[Chorus]
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, oh believe me

Oh, you don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, oh believe me
