What's with the asterisk?

Say what you mean

Don't tell me sweet nothings

Don't act so mean

Because living in the moment

Passes all too fast

Set a bad example

When you talk like that

Needless to say

You know it well

Because when you've been away

Coming home helps

All these changes in faces

And all new places

Left you wondering

Am I coming around to it?

If only you could care for me for more than just a minute

Let you hide behind the lie that kept you sane

Would you take it all aback for just the feeling?

Would it remind you of the fact to start again?

If only you could

Would you take it all back?

Would you give me just a minute?

If only you could
