I can't believe the things you said Right now I wish that you would try Try to stay near me Try to be near me Before I cry 'Cause I am gonna need a well To catch the pain and lift the spell Like you won't hear me Can you try and heal me? Before I cry Hurry up, hurry up Before I lose you Hurry up, hurry up Before you lose me too Hurry up, hurry up Before I change my mind 'Cause I'm gonna cry If you say you don't need me I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it Why don't you hold me? Tell me you love me Before I cry Before I cry Could you please find another way? I start to think I'm insane Trying to stay here Let me just lay here Before I cry Hurry up, hurry up Before I lose you Hurry up, hurry up Before you lose me too Hurry up, hurry up Before I change my mind 'Cause I'm gonna cry If you say you don't need me I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it Why don't you hold me? Tell me you love me Before I cry Before I cry I'm 'bout to lose it Is that so confusing? Am I just repeating myself? Say something loving to me before I crumble Tell me, tell me, tell me 'Cause I'm gonna cry If you say you don't need me I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it Why don't you hold me? Tell me you love me Before I cry Before I cry Before I cry Have I said what I needed to say? Have you said what you wanted to say? Did you say what you wanted to say? Would you try and stop me before I cry?
