Don't expect me to wait forever, but don't be surprised if I do.
You don't have to believe anything that I say, but know that what I say is true.
Don't expect me to answer the phone, but I'm waiting for your call.
Know that when I said I was falling, I hadn't far to fall.
Don't expect me to take you back, but I'm here with bated breath.
The words I always didn't say, they never really left.
Don't expect me to steal you away, but I'll try with all my might
And know that when I say I'm fine, I cry in bed at night.
Don't expect me to confess my love, but I loved you from the first.
The love left stagnant in my heart, with every cell, I curse.
Don't expect me to write you songs, but babe this song's for you.
I need to touch, to see your face, I don't know what else to do.
Don't expect me to beg or plead, but my love, I do beseech.
These feelings I can't seem to toss away, were until now, so hard to reach.
Don't expect me to cry and scream, but something is horribly wrong.
These last few days I've been alone, should have never been this long.
Don't expect me to love you always, but I love you with all my heart...
and though you seem to have forgotten my name, this love will never part.
