There's something in the air
A feeling of danger
I've seen that look before
The eyes of a stranger

There is something wrong with you I know
I see it in your eyes
Believe me when I say (Believe me when I say)
It's gonna be ok (It's gonna be ok)

I told you from the start
I won't be demanding
If you have a change of heart
I'd be understanding

Only want to know just where
I stand on where we were
Believe me when I say (Believe me when I say)
We'll work it out someway

I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want
It's what I want
I want what's best for you
And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It hurts to see you cry

I can tell by the way you lay
Your head on my shoulder
Your hands as cold as ice
Your hearts even colder

It's tearing me up inside to think
No matter how hard I try
You may still walk away
And no matter what I say

I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want
It's what I want
I want what's best for you

And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It hurts to say goodbye
And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It hurts to say goodbye

I'll never try to hold you back
I couldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want
It's what I want
I want what's best for you
And if there's something else that you're looking for
