(Paul)

There's something in the air a feeling of danger

I've seen that look before the face of a stranger

There's something wrong with you I know

I see it in your eyes

Believe me when I say

It's gonna be okay

(Regine)

I told you from the start I won't be demanding

If you have a change of heart I'll be understanding

I only want to know just where I stand or where I lie

Believe me when I say

We'll work it out some way

REFRAIN:

(Regine/Paul)

I'll never try to hold you back

I wouldn't try controlling you

If it's what you want

It's what I want

I want what's best for you

And if there's something else that you're looking for

I'll be the first to help you try

Believe me when I say

It's hard to say goodbye

(Paul)

I can tell by the way you lay your head on my shoulder

Your hand is cold as ice, your heart's even colder

(Regine)

It's tearing me up inside to think

No matter how hard I try

You may still walk away

No matter what I do or say

(Repeat Refrain)

INSTRUMENTAL

(Regine/Paul)

If it's what you want

It's what I want

I want what's best for you

And if there's something else

That you're looking for, I'll

Be the first to help you try

Believe me when I say

It's hard to say goodbye

(It's hard to say goodbye)

I'll never try to hold you back

I wouldn't try controlling you

(I wouldn't try controlling you)

If it's what you want

It's what I want

And if there's something else

That you're looking for, I'll

Be the first to help you try

Believe me when I say

It's hard to say  goodbye

(Repeat Refrain `till fade)
