Don’t say you love me – I know
And sure, I’ll survive – but so?
Don’t say I’ll be okay without you around
Say something funny, or send in the clowns

Don’t say who it’s hardest for
And don’t tell me who’s hurting more
The loser, the leaver, it’s all the same
It all adds up to way too much pain

Nothing’s forever, not even diamonds
And nothing is final, not even goodbye
So ask me no questions, and tell me no lies
Just say something funny, or honey, I’ll cry, cry, cry

Don’t say it’s not over yet
Your magic might help me forget
I’ll lie in this box if you’ll saw it in half
Try any dumb trick that’ll get me to laugh

But don’t say I’ll find someone new
’Cause no one could duplicate you
You’ll be here in spirit, but that ain’t enough
’Cause nothing can warm me like your lovin’ touch

Nothing’s forever, not even diamonds
And nothing is final, not even goodbye
So ask me no questions, and tell me no lies
Just say something funny, ’cause that can’t hurt any
Say something funny, or honey, I’ll cry, cry, cry

Say something, anything,
Just clear the air
Say something, anything,
To show me you’re still there

Nothing’s forever, not even diamonds
And nothing is final, not even goodbye
Love can make you delirious, but it’s only half-serious
Say something funny, ’cause that can’t hurt any
Say something funny, or honey, I’ll cry, cry, cry
So help me, I’ll cry
