Need I say I love you?
Need I say I care?
Need I say that emotions
Are something we don't share?

I don't want to be sitting here
Trying to deceive you
Cause you know I know baby
Oh, that I don't wanna go

Now, we cannot live together
We cannot live apart
And that's the situation
And I've known it from the start

Oh, but every time that I look at you
I can see the future
Cause you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go

We're throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
To would make you change your mind?
I watch the world go round and round
Well I see mine turning upside down
Throwing it all away
