[Verse 1]
Don't say I love you
I won't say that I care
I'll pretend I never kissed you, or held you, or worshiped you elsewhere
We'll live in denial for as long as we live
'Cause all we need, baby, this love just came in
We have to walk away, we have to walk away

[Verse 2]
I'll try not to sing, you try not to talk with those lips
We'll forget all the sweet memories, and now we'll just go with what is

[Chorus]
'Cause this love ain't love and I don't know why
But anything that stands so still can't be alive
We have to walk away, we have to walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
But their time alone is so sweet
And it's man that makes me wanna make it last
But you can't make love work any more than you can make it leave
And it's then you gotta leave it yourself

[Chorus]
'Cause when love ain't love, and it still ain't leaving
It's then you gotta leave it yourself
[Verse 3]
So at night, when darkness fills me
I'll pretend I never spoke your name
And when I'm sitting all alone lonely
I'll pretend your home alone with your words to say

[Verse 4]
And I'll tell myself that these feelings won't last
And I'll try to pretend that this sorrow will past
And that I've walked away

'Cause their time alone was so sweet
And it's man that makes me wanna make it last
But you can't make love work any more than you can make it leave
And it's then you gotta leave it yourself

'Cause when love ain't love, and it still ain't leaving
It's then you gotta leave it yourself
'Cause when love ain't love, but it still ain't leaving
It's then you gotta leave it yourself

Don't say I love you, I won't say that I don't care
