Dusty

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasnt me who changed but you
And now youve gone away

Dont you see
That now youve gone
And Im left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?

You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I cant help but love you
But believe me
Ill never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All thats left is loneliness
Theres nothing left to feel

You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me

You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me
