You say it's not important to you That's the most I ever get from you You're just a model of restraint But only you could carry out a threat with so much hate I know you've got a system It's not a system of sacrifice You think you've got my life on hold But I just need, need to be told just once
Tell me just once That's all I wanna hear That's all I wanna hear
Can you feel the knife edge we're balancing on Or are you just as blind as you are when you're wrong? Your sympathy confuses me
Why do you comfort me? Why do you come here at all? I know you've got a reason But everything you do makes the reason worse It's easier to hate me and walk out the door But all you have to do is just say it Say it just once
Tell me just once That's all I wanna hear That's all I wanna hear
I know you've got a system It's not a system of sacrifice You think you've got my life on hold But I just need, need to be told just once Tell me just once That's all I wanna hear That's all I wanna hear Just once you can't try to hurt me any more That's all I wanna hear Just once you can't try to touch me like before That's all I wanna hear
