You Don't Love Me

I tried my best to understand
How you can go from acting
As if the world's collapsing
Back again like it was no big deal
When you've been all distracted
Am I overreacting?
It's just the vibe I get sometimes
Inside at night I'm frightened

You don't love me
You don't love me
It's just a thought that lingers longer than it should
I could be wrong but I dream
That you don't love me

Can you let me down

Gently now
When all is said and done
Take it easy on me 'cause
I just don't know how

To allow
You to up and leave
Break it gently to me please
If time allows
Maybe we'll do something
Where we might rediscover
Affection for the other
Occasionally I contemplate
The notion you've been trying to say is only
That you don't love me

Can you let me down
Gently now
When all is said and done
Take it easy on me 'cause
I just don't know how
To allow
You to up and leave
Break it gently to me please

If you're giving me bad news or coming to say
That you wanna leave, say the children are waiting
Maybe hesitate
Before you devastate
Me with the disclosure that over the years
All the affection you had disappeared
And now in its place
It's just an empty space

Can you let me down
Gently now
When all is said and done
Take it easy on me 'cause
I just don't know how
To allow
You to up and leave
Break it gently to me please
