I Love You
I'm glad to say I love you,
But see, it hurts me too,
Even as you put your arms around me,
It hurts to say what's true.
Every time I let them go,
The words come back to haunt me so,
And even if your arms are around me,
I have to tell myself no.
No matter how strongly I feel,
This pain is all too real,
And even though your arms are around me,
These wounds refuse to heal.
And now I've told you what is true,
But I don't want to show it, too.
So put your arms around me
And I might say I love you.
But see, it hurts me too,
Even as you put your arms around me,
It hurts to say what's true.
Every time I let them go,
The words come back to haunt me so,
And even if your arms are around me,
I have to tell myself no.
No matter how strongly I feel,
This pain is all too real,
And even though your arms are around me,
These wounds refuse to heal.
And now I've told you what is true,
But I don't want to show it, too.
So put your arms around me
And I might say I love you.
