Here we are again
Hanging by a thread
The truth is almost gone
There's no more love to save
You always got your way
But I'm tired of holding on

All your expectations fall on me
They're so heavy, baby
Maybe I'm just too close, too close to see

That I really don't know what you need
But I really don't think that it's me
And you never can tell where love leads
But it don't lead back to me
Said it don't lead back to me
No it don't lead back to me

Don't lead back to me babe, back to me babe, back to me

You said to give you space and time
But was it all a lie?
Just a way to hold me down
Now the water's flooding in
And you come back again
But can't you see I'm drowning?
All your expectations fall on me
Until I can't breathe
What's it gonna take to make you see?

That I really don't know what you need
But I really don't think that it's me
And you never can tell where love leads
But it don't lead back to me
No it don't lead back to me
No it don't lead back to me

Don't lead back to me babe, back to me babe, back to me

Gotta let it go - yes I do
Gotta leave it be - oh, oh
Giving up the ghost - giving up
Can you set me free - come on baby
Set me free, yeah - baby, baby, baby

'Cause I really don't know what you need
But I really don't think that it's me
No you never can tell where love leads
But it don't lead back to me
No it don't lead back to me
No it don't lead back to me

Don't lead back to me
Don't lead back to me

If you're lookin' for love, baby
You better not look my way
Cause it don't lead back to me
Don't lead back to me babe, back to me babe, back to me

No it ain't me, babe
Yeah...
Do what you need to do
Cause you never do know
Where love's gonna lead
But I can tell you for sure
That it don't lead back
No, no it don't lead back to me
I paid my dues
Gave you all my love
And now I'm through, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
