It's not that I'm not seeing you,
'Cause I do,
It's not that I don't care about you,
You know it's true.
It's just I didn't fall in love with you,
And as you,
You fell in deeper,
All I could do was watch you fall.
Nobody loves me quite like you do.
Nobody ever did the things you do.
And though I don't, don't feel the same,
The love you give, it ain't in vain,
Another man could spend a lifetime,
Trying to love me like you,
Love me like you,
Love me like you,
Love me like you.
You say you know my boundaries here,
And it's cool,
But sometimes when you wanna show kindness baby,
You gotta be cruel.
Yet you're still picking up the bill,
And you still smile like it's a thrill,
To be around to spend a little time with me.
Nobody loves me quite like you do.
Nobody ever did the things you do.
And though I don't, don't feel the same,
The love you give, it ain't in vain,
Another man could spend a lifetime,
Trying to love me like you,
Love me like you,
Love me like you,
Love me like you.
You know me so well baby,
The love you give it changed me,
I felt ashamed and so alone,
But you taught me I was strong.
If only I had love for you,
And felt the yearning that you do.
But no one, no one,
Could ever love me like you do.
Nobody loves me quite like you do.
Nobody ever did the things you do.
And though I don't, don't feel the same,
The love you give, it ain't in vain,
Another man could spend a lifetime,
Trying to love me like you,
Love me like you,
Love me like you,
Love me like you.
