Something I Should Know

Tell me you want me to wait for you Tell me you want me to stay Tell me you can't see your life without me And that you want me to wait Tell me you need me sometimes Tell me you can't make any promises Tell me there are things you don't understand And I'll wait until you know what love is But if you want me to let go This is something I should know... The look in your eyes when you think of me Still shows something deep inside And you can't say you don't still love me Or there wouldn't be tears in your eyes A long time ago, I fell in love And hid my heart from the very start Not long ago, I lost your love And it tore my world apart But if you want me to let go This is something I should know... I can tell you that I love you I can tell you how much I care I can even try to show you this But it's hard when you're not here I can tell you all the reasons why I can tell you what's to come I can tell you that I understand now Why you felt you had to run But if you want me to let go This is something I should know... I'll wait forever if you asked me to And hold on to all our dreams Until you are strong enough to see That it is our love that's meant to be Or I can let go if you asked me to If this is what you need from me The love remains, locked inside But only you can set it free If you want me to let go This is something I should know... But if you want me to wait If you believe it may not be too late If you still have any love for me Say the words that my heart needs With expectation or apology This is something I should know...
