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 wouldn't 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 don't have to love me The way I love you I love you
