[Musical Interlude: Piano Solo] Verse 1 I don’t need you to love me, I just need you to stay I don’t need you to love me, There is nothing you need to say But don’t pull away when I say I love you, That’s the only thing I ask of you No vows, no chains, no answer, Just a moment that feels true Chorus Don’t pull away when I say I love you, Let it breathe, let it shine, let it stay Don’t pull away when I say I love you, You don’t have to love me that way I don’t need you to love me, no, Just don’t turn your eyes aside When I throw my heart wide open, Let it live where the silence lies Verse 2 I can live with your silence, darlin’, And I’ll never hold it against you But don’t tell me you don’t love me I still need something to hold on to I won’t ask for more than given, I won’t beg or make you choose Just let me keep the quiet hope, It's a dream that I can't lose Chorus Don’t pull away when I say I love you, Let it breathe, let it shine, let it stay Don’t pull away when I say I love you, You don’t have to love me that way I don’t need you to love me, no, Just don’t turn your eyes aside When I throw my heart wide open, Let it live where the silence lies Bridge No fear, no fight, No wrong, no right It’s only light from a fragile flame, Don’t turn from the sound of its name I say love, you smile that way Just don’t pull your hand away Breakdown (yeah mmm) Let it play, let it play, Don’t pull away Final Chorus Don’t pull away when I say I love you, You don’t have to say it too I don’t need you to love me, darlin’, Just don’t pull away when I do Just don’t pull away when I do (yeah mmm)
