Not In That Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And I hate to say I love you
When it's so hard for me
And I hate to say I want you
When you make it so clear
You don't want me
I'd never ask you 'cause deep down
I'm certain I know what you'd say
You'd say: I'm sorry, believe me
I love you, but not in that way
And I hate to say I need you
I'm so reliant
I'm so dependant
I'm such a fool
When you're not there
I find myself singing the blues
Can't bear
Can't face the truth
You will never
Know that feeling
You will never
See through these eyes
I'd never ask you 'cause deep down
I'm certain I know what you'd say
You'd say: I'm sorry, believe me
I love you, but not in that way
You'd say: I'm sorry, believe me
I love you, but not in that way
