you don't have to love me
the way i love you
you don't have to love me
the way i love you

i've been kneeling all through the blue afternoon
i've been kneeling all through the blue afternoon

i was praying you'd believe me
i was praying you wouldnt leave me
i was saying can you see me?

i was blinded by my reflection
in a pool
i was blinded by my reflection
in a pool

my face was calm
the water was cool
my face was calm
the water was cool

and it looked like i was drowning
and the water was still shining
and my heart was pounding
and pining

you dont have to love me
the way i love you
i love you
