Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Need I say I love you?
Need I say I care?
Need I say that emotions
Are something we don't share?
I don't want to be sitting here
Trying to deceive you
'Cause you know I know, baby
That I don't wanna go
[Verse 2]
We cannot live together
We cannot live apart
And that's the situation
I've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
But I can't see the future
'Cause you know I know, baby
That I don't wanna go
[Chorus]
Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
To make you change your mind?
I watch the world go round and round
And see mine turning upside down
[Refrain]
Throwing it all away
[Verse 3]
Now who will light up the darkness?
And who will hold your hand?
Who will find you the answers?
When you don't understand?
Why should I have to be the one
Who has to convince you?
'Cause you know I know, baby
That I don't wanna go
[Bridge]
Someday you will be sorry
Someday when you're free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
But late at night when you call my name
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling
Calling after me
[Chorus]
Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Then there's nothing that I can say, aye-aye-aye
[Outro]
We're throwing it all away
Just a-throwing it all away
'Cause we're throwing it all away
