I stopped by to see you Just the other day And I want to say That I finally realized The words I love you don't mean a thing It's so hard for me to see Because you meant everything to me But I guess I gotta move on Even though it hurts, I gotta be strong [Chorus] If you don't want to love me, don't love me Don't want to touch me, don't touch me 'Cause I don't want you To do anything that you don't want to do And if you don't want to miss me, don't miss me Don't want to kiss me, don't kiss me 'Cause I don't want you to do anything That you don't want to do, no Who would've known that on The nights that you were working late All alone I'd lay awake in our bed Someone else was puttin' food on your plate? I refuse to believe That you never, ever loved me I've gotta move on Our love is gone And this house is not a home [Chorus] [Bridge] You can be lonely I don't really care But didn't have to make me think That you would be right here You said that you would be there So if you don't... [Chorus x 4]
