you don't have to say you love me  
if your heart had turned away  
just leave the light on in the hallway  
so I won't lose my way  
you don't have to say you need me  
if the words will make you cry  
let me hold on to the memory  
and kiss the past goodbye  
photographs have lost their glow  
your laughter's just an echo  
now I still reach out into the dark  
chasing pieces of your spark  
but you don't have to say you love me  
If your heart has turned away  
just leave the light on in the hallway  
so I won't lose my way  
you don't have to say you need me  
if the words will make you cry  
let me hold on to the memory  
and kiss the past goodbye
