What would you have me do Just turn and walk out on you And leave you standing there Pretending I don't care When you know as well as I that would be nowhere shouldn't I be with you shouldn't I be with you What would you have me say After I walk away would it be the end or just a second wind for the good old song that we use to call pretending shouldn't I be with you shouldn't I be with you It's not the first time that you had me turn away I don't know it won't be the last time But you got to say it you got to Should we make a brand new start or are you gonna break my heart and leave me standing there pretending I don't care When you know as well as I that would get us nowhere shouldn't I be with you shouldn't I be with you It's not the first time that you had me turn away I don't know it won't be the last time But you got to say it you got to

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les hésitations et les incertitudes d'une relation compliquée. Le protagoniste se demande s'il doit vraiment s'éloigner de l'autre, alors qu'il sait au fond de lui que cela n’apporterait rien de bon. Il remet en question la sincérité de leurs sentiments et se demande si une séparation serait une fin définitive ou simplement un moment de pause. On ressent une tension entre le désir de rester ensemble et la peur de la douleur que cela pourrait engendrer. Le contexte semble tourner autour d'une relation marquée par des échecs répétitifs, où l'angoisse de se retrouver seul se heurte à la nécessité d'affronter la vérité de leurs émotions. Cette lutte interne est un sentiment universel que beaucoup peuvent comprendre dans leur propre parcours amoureux.
