to be dazed
when I walked down the street
Felt a show up
when I promised to meet you
Those were the days
when I'd look in your eyes
Kiss you goodbye but not say
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you care
Don't say that you need me
To go anywhere for you
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you care
Don't say you're coming over,
don't dare
These days I don't hear a hit from my feet
I can't taste your lips
when I'm kissin' my sheets
I look at the scar
where I once scratched your name
Trying to hurt you again
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you care
Don't say that you mean
that you'd go anywhere for me
Don't tell me that you love me,
don't tell me that you care
Don't say you're coming over,
don't dare
I'm not going to cry
The Empire State
Funny things true
Just have to wait
Somewhere like New York City
Sounds oh so pretty
But let's leave the timing
to fate
And maybe then
I'll tell you that I love you
I'll tell you that I care
I'll say that I need you,
that I'd go anywhere for you
I'll be the one who's crying,
I'll be the one who tears
I'll be the one who's trying to make
up for the wasted years
Don't tell me that you love me,
don't tell me that you care
Don't say you're coming over,
don't care
I'm not going to mind if they ask me
But if they should just have to wait
