I'm just one person-
Just one soul.
I can't be doing this on my own,
For it takes two
To make love truly work.

You left me with my heart
Lying broken in the road.
You didn't look back-
Not even once-
Though I called out your name.

Don't hold me unless you mean it.
Don't kiss me unless you love me.
Don't take my hand and hold it
Unless you mean to be there for me.
Don't cause me any more pain-
My heart can't take one more break.
Don't hold me unless you mean it,
Don't kiss me unless you love me,
Don't say I love you
Unless it's true

"Let's just be friends,"
Is what you say now.
"I love you,"
Were your words last night-
Was that really just a lie?

Will you ever take my hand again
Or will I wait forever?
You say you love me still-
That your life is just going downhill
And you need to put the pieces back together.

Don't hold me unless you mean it.
Don't kiss me unless you love me.
Don't take my hand and hold it
Unless you mean to be there for me.
Don't cause me any more pain-
My heart can't take one more break.
Don't hold me unless you mean it,
Don't kiss me unless you love me,
Don't say I love you
Unless it's true

You hold me in your arms again,
Though you say that we're "just friends."
This love for you that's in my eyes-
These feelings for you I can't disguise!

They say if you love someone,
Let them go-
If they come back,
They were always yours-
But what if you don't?

Don't hold me unless you mean it.
Don't kiss me unless you love me.
Don't take my hand and hold it
Unless you mean to be there for me.
Don't cause me any more pain-
My heart can't take one more break.
Don't hold me unless you mean it,
Don't kiss me unless you love me,
Don't say I love you
Unless it's true
