Say It Isn't So Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

When you say I love you 

Is it just because you know that's what I want to hear? 

Lately friends are warning me 

What they hesitate to tell me leaves a thread of fear 

People talk around this town 

And when the final truth comes down 

There's only one thing left to do 

It's come back 'round to you 

(Come back 'round to you) 

Say it isn't so 

Tell me that you're someone I'll believe in 

Am I the last to know 

That you don't love me anymore? 

Oh, if you ever did say it isn't so 

Am I caught up in a web that you are weaving? 

Oh, the stories I've been told 

Indicate that you're already reachin' for the door 

It's just a lovers situation 

Are you in or out of love? I've heard those words before 

I've had to face up to the truth 

Cuz' staying and pretending would have hurt him more 

Sometimes lovers stay too long 

Sometimes they leave too soon 

There's only one thing left to do 

It's come back 'round to you 

(Come back 'round to you) 

Say it isn't so 

Tell me that you're someone I'll believe in 

Am I the last to know 

That you don't love me anymore? 

Oh, if you ever did say it isn't so 

Am I caught up in a web that you are weaving? 

Oh, the stories I've been told 

Indicate that you're already reachin' for the door 

Oh, the stories I've been told 

Baby, just say it isn't so
