Needtobreathe's song 'Haley' is a plea for clarity in a romantic relationship. The singer asks Haley not to express affection or make promises unless she is certain of her feelings. He warns that her indecision is causing pain and that he could have moved on if she were honest. The lyrics describe a cycle of being on and off again, which is emotionally exhausting. The song is not explicitly Christian; it focuses on personal romantic uncertainty rather than faith or worship.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
If you don't know just how you feel
Don't say those sweet things that you know I'd want to hear
If you don't know just what to think
Then put your thoughts away and keep them out of reach
Haley don't hurt me, if you don't know
I could have moved on a long time ago
You're undecided, your eyes still show
Haley don't hurt me, if you don't know
If you don't know just where you are
Then slowly step away before we get too far
If you don't know, just where you stand
Don't brace a fall that you may never want to land
Haley don't hurt me if you don't know
I could have moved a long time ago
You're undecided, your eyes still show
Haley don't hurt me if you don't know
We're on and off again
It's more than I can stand
Just let me know if you're for real this time
Your voice has shook again
We're reminding me of when
We talked away into the end
Haley don't hurt me if you don't know
I could have moved a long time ago
You're undecided, your eyes still show
Haley don't hurt me if you don't know
