But I Do

I don't want to say I love you, but I do
I don't want to say I miss you, but it's true
I can't hardly carry on
Sweetheart, since you've been gone
I don't want to say I love you, but I do

Yes, I tried to tell my heart that I could get along without you
But my heart's just not the foolin' kind
No matter how I fight it, there's no use to hide it
I can't get you off my mind

I don't want to find a new love, that is true
For there's no one else to take the place of you
So I'll just hope and pray
That you'll return someday
I don't want to say I love you, but I do
