[Verse 1]
Why'd you leave sweet words
Whisper deep in my ears
When your heart's so far, so far away, yeah
'Cause when I look at you
I see you looking straight through me
So don’t give me hope, don't tell me no lies
'Cause I know what’s on your mind
[Chorus]
Don't say you love me
Just to stop me from leaving
Just 'cause you think that I need it
You just gotta let me go
Don't say you want me
Just to stop me from hurting
There's only pain in deceiving
You just gotta let me go, yeah
[Verse 2]
Too many tired fights
That we play over each night, yeah
And, oh, I think we both
We both need to change
'Cause thе feelings broke
There's no fixing it, no
So don't givе me hope
Don't tell me no lies
'Cause I know what's on your mind, no
[Chorus]
Don't say you love me
Just to stop me from leaving
Just 'cause you think that I need it
You just gotta let me go
Don't say you want me
Just to stop me from hurting
There's only pain in deceiving
You just gotta let me go
[Post-Chorus]
No, yeah
Ooh
Yeah, oh
[Bridge]
Don't speak
Your eyes tell me everything
Don't speak
No, your lies are deafening
Don't speak
'Cause your silence says
More than you could ever say
[Chorus]
Don't say you love me
Just to stop me from leaving
Just 'cause you think that I need it
You just gotta let me go
Don't say you want me
Just to stop me from hurting
There's only pain in deceiving
You just gotta let me go
[Outro]
No, woah
Woah
You just gotta let me go

‘Don’t Say You Love Me’ is a song I wrote over three years ago. I opened the live set with it for years and it always made me feel alive as soon as the first beat kicked in. I wrote it about needing to leave someone and having to stand up for yourself and have the courage to walk away from something...
