I don't wanna say "I love you"
'Cause people that I love leave
That's all that I've ever seen
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave

It's getting serious and seriously
Makes me curious why you're here with me
I point the finger and start questioning you
It's like, "Come on, am I the best you can do?"

Don't mean to be cruel, it's how I was taught
I came up different than you
I know you're confused but it's not about you
It's not somеthing you did, it's just not something I do

I don't wanna say "I love you"
'Cause pеople that I love leave
That's all that I've ever seen
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave
They move on and forget about me
That's how it'll always be
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave

I'm scared of jumping in the deep end
'Cause when I do I almost always drown
You could be everything I'm needing
I'm probably never gunna get to find out

So don't wait around
For those three words to come out of my mouth
I know you're confused but it's not about you
It's not something you did, it's just not something I do

I don't wanna say "I love you"
'Cause people that I love leave
That's all that I've ever seen
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave
They move on and forget about me
That's how it'll always be
As soon as I hold on
That's when it all goes wrong
'Cause people that I love leave

People that I love leave
(I don't wanna say "I love you")
(I don't wanna say "I love you")
People that I love leave
