I think to much about you baby
You've on my mind more than you should
I would do without you now
I would walk away now if I could
I never needed anybody baby
I'm the one who never thought I would

I keep telling myself I don't need you
I keep telling myself I don't want you, now
I'd tell myself anything to make me believe
That I don't love you baby
But I can't lie to my heart

Something's got me running to you
Something tells me I can't run away
Even if I thought of leaving
The thought of you would only make me stay
No one's ever gotten to me baby
I'm the one who always got away

I keep telling myself I don't need you
I keep telling myself I don't want you, now
I'd tell myself anything to make me believe
That I don't love you baby
But I can't lie to my heart

I can't tell the sky that it's not blue
How can I tell you that I don't love you?
