It's been so long
I felt you gone
And now I'm lost

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Say you don't know if you see this as forever

You say you couldn't change
The way you felt about my mistakes
Yeah-yeah

But I know you wouldn't mean to be that cruel

Say when you know
Say when you know
Say when you know
Say when you know

Don't reject the way I feel
Play it through, all of you, fed you on
I'm only tryin' to be real
Don't reject the way I feel
Play it through, all of you, fed you on
