You Don't Have To

I don’t need you to love me
Because that means you will have to lie
There’s no need for you to hold my hand
We both know you don’t care that much.

You don’t have to hold me close
In your arms where I don’t belong
Even if I show you how to love
I know you will not give it to me.

I don’t have to wait for the day
When you will realize your mistakes
No more false hope, promises …
You don’t have to say anything.

You don’t have to be here for me now
Then tomorrow leave me again
Never wipe away my tears
And then hurt me once again.

You know I prayed for you
More than a million times
But please …
Don’t ask me to stay beside you
Because I know you will never change.
