You dont have to say you love
Nadia Turner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me

The chorus of the song gives a very clear message to her lover- she doesn't need to say that he loves her. All she needs is for him to be present in her life, to make her feel like she is not alone. She understands that he doesn't have to stay forever, and accepts that fact. She loves him and cannot help it, but she will not tie him down if he wants to leave.
The last verse of the song highlights the pain of loneliness that the singer feels after the end of the relationship. She feels like life is dead and that there is nothing left to feel. It is a sad reflection on the pain that comes with the end of a relationship.

When I said I needed you
When I showed that I needed you in my life
You said you would always stay
You promised to stay with me forever
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
It wasn't my actions that caused you to leave, but you chose to change and leave me
Don't you see that now you've gone
You don't realize that now that you are gone
And I'm left here on my own
I am alone and left to deal with the aftermath
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
I am forced to chase after you and plead for you to come back
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
I don't need you to verbally express your love for me, just be physically near me
You don't have to stay forever I will understand
You don't need to commit to staying with me forever, I will accept and understand if you need to leave
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
Please believe me, I can't control my feelings of love for you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
However, please trust me when I say that I will never restrict or limit you in any way
Left alone with just a memory
Now that I am alone, all I have are memories of us
Life seems dead and quite unreal
Without you, life appears dull and unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
I am left only with a feeling of loneliness and despair
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
I don't need you to constantly profess your love to me, just be near me
You don't have to stay forever
I don't expect you to commit to staying forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
I promise you, I will accept your decision no matter what
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
I just want you to be present in my life
You don't have to stay forever
I don't want you to feel trapped or obligated to stay
I will understand, believe me, believe me
I want you to trust that I will not be upset or angry if you leave
