I wanna go to bed
With arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend
That I'm still sleeping
Until you go home

Oh,
I can't look at you
This morning
I should probably have a sign
That says
Leave right now or quicker
You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love
You're too close to me
And that's why
You have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful
On your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now
It's morning
And I can't face your smile

The second that I feel
Your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've over stayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
And nothing is real for me

If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
And nothing is real for me

If I don't believe in love
Why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
You're getting too close to me
And that's why you have to leave
And that's why you have to leave

If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love
You're too good for me.
