You say that you love me
Don't say that you love me
'Cause I don't know how to be yours
You say that you want me
Don't say that you want me
'Cause I don't know how to be yours
Yeah, I still act like an orphan I guess
And my hard heart breaks to confess
That even while you hold me as I cry on the floor
I still don't know how to be yours
You say that you love me
Don't say that you love me
'Cause I don't know how to be yours
You say that you want me
Don't say that you want me
'Cause I don't know how to be yours
'Cause I still act like an orphan I guess
And my hard heart breaks to confess
That even while you hold me as I cry on the floor
I still don't know how to be yours
So love me or hate me, I'm not going anywhere
Leave me or take me, you still bear My signature
Know me or not, seen or forgotten
I'm not walking out on you
Love me or hate me, I'm not going anywhere
Leave me or take me, you still bear My signature
Know me or not, seen or forgotten
I'm not walking out on you
So love me or hate me, I'm not going anywhere
Leave me or take me, you still bear My signature
Know me or not, seen or forgotten
I'm not walking out on you
No, I'm not walking out on you
I'm not walking out on you
