lyrics
(chorus)
don't say this is my last day with you
no I'll never give up no matter what you do
don't say that your love's gone away from you
no I'll never believe 'cause it's just not true
(verse 1)
all these things you're saying now
they flat out knocked me down
say you don't want me around
this can't be the real you
now you're telling me it's done
telling me I'm not the one
you'd rather have me gone
but I still love you
(pre-chorus)
oooh... and I thought that you should know
that I'll never let you go
oooh... and one more thing I know for sure
someday you'll hear me say I told you so
(verse 2)
tell me what are we gonna do
if it's all left up to you
you're telling me it's through
it's just not that easy
no it's not a mystery
when it comes to you in me
think about the history
you'll see that you were meant for me
(rap verse)
don't say that you can't get used to me
don't tell me that you want to be through with me
I don't care what you've heard about L.U.P.
but I've been listening to you fundamentally
first, you can't be afraid to fight
getting in the ring done gave us the right
and two, it ain't always about you
sometimes it needs to be a bit about me
and three, can't casually forget
about the past and that's a hard thing for me
but four, I don't want to hurt no more
so come back and let's let it simmer some more
you're so sure of what I need
indeed, a man's got to feed
but the truth is I feed off you being near
these are the elements that make this all crystal clear
don't say it
don't say this is my last day with you
no I'll never give up no matter what you do
don't say that your love's gone away from you
no I'll never believe 'cause it's just not true
(verse 1)
all these things you're saying now
they flat out knocked me down
say you don't want me around
this can't be the real you
now you're telling me it's done
telling me I'm not the one
you'd rather have me gone
but I still love you
(pre-chorus)
oooh... and I thought that you should know
that I'll never let you go
oooh... and one more thing I know for sure
someday you'll hear me say I told you so
