Before you say you love me
look me in the eye
know my every secret
then see if you can lie
Before you say you love me
Wipe the the tears from my chin
Know that I'm empty inside
Can you love the nothing within?
Before you say you love me
Watch me lose my way
Know how lost I have become
Still think that you should stay?
Before you say you love me
Slip into my mind
Know that I'm afraid
You'll be leaving me behind
Before you say you love me
Please . . . make sure your words are true
Know that you can hurt me
Because I love you too
