If You Have To Ask (Before You Leaving)
Verse 1:
You came into my life, now I’m standing alone
With my heart feeling so cold, and my dreams are gone
You don’t even care, so why should I try to hold on
When you leave, you take a part of me with you
Chorus:
If you have to ask, before you leave,
I don’t want to know the reason why
I don’t want to hear your excuses,
You just let me down, I won’t try to make you stay
Verse 2:
I try to get my head around the thought of being alone
Trying to move on and make sense of all this pain
You thought you’d break my heart and leave without a trace,
But I won’t let you win, I won’t let you take me down
Chorus:
If you have to ask, before you leave,
I don’t want to know the reason why
I don’t want to hear your excuses,
You just let me down, I won’t try to make you stay
Bridge:
Just leave me, if that’s what you really want
Just get out, go on and make a break for it
I won’t let you win this game we play
Leave my heart broken and then you say goodbye
Chorus:
If you have to ask, before you leave,
I don’t want to know the reason why
I don’t want to hear your excuses,
You just let me down, I won’t try to make you stay
Outro:
So if you have to go, then go now and don’t look back
I won’t be waiting here for you when you come back next week, or next month or next year. I won’t be here. I won’t be here.
