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.
You don't have to break your heart in two my love
You don't have to play a part, it's you I love
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else, again
You don't have to rescue me
You don't have to watch me drown
You don't have to give to me
All I want is you
Be there my love
Be there tonight
Be there my love
Be there tonight
You don't have to dress yourself up
Or stay the same
You don't have to smile
If I say smile
You don't have to be the best
You don't have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing else
Nothing
Be there my love
Just be there my love
Oh.. mmm...
If you want the whole of me
That's all you'll get
I sing this song
I'd give my health, give it all
You don't have to -
(Ah, she whispered, she said 'I need you now')
(Ah, she said 'don't worry, please me now')
You don't have to worry, have to worry
If I fall apart
You don't have to wear strings
Or do those things
You're enough in my heart
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you
Be there my love
Be there tonight
Be there my love
Be there tonight
Yes, you all see
