I don't have to take a thing you say seriously
I don't have to make you promise that you ain't gonna leave
But I do like to pretend it doesn't end at our hands
And deep inside you might just want me too
You would look at me and it'd be different
As you confess to me your secrets and dreams
And you would ask for my devotion
As we're connecting oh so intricately
In another life you might just take the time to love me
In another life you might just take the time, take the time to love me
You don't have to say what you think gon' make me smile
You don't have to stay, you're just being nice, I can handle denial
And I do with you every time we touch and you don't ignite
Boy I don't see the light in your eyes and I know it can't be right
But you would hold me, lean in and whisper
That you should have told me long ago
How much you love me, but you were fearful
That I'd reject you if you let it show
In another life you might just take the time to love me
In another life you might just take the time, take the time to love me
