'I Love you'
I say it a lot, like most do
The difference is, I only say it to friends and family
You see someone way before you said 'I love you'
I said it back thinking it was true

I broke down when I learned it was a lie
I broke down when he went back to her
You see he was the first guy I ever said 'I love you' to
I meant it when I said it

I guess that's why it hurt me so much
I guess that's why I build my walls up
I guess that's why I have only ever told him
'I love you'

I see the sadness in your eyes when I don't say it back
I know you want me to say it
But i'm scared that it will happen again

That you will leave
That you won't feel the same
That you will realize you could do better

I'm scared because I do
I do love you
I want to say it
But now i'm scared of 'i love you'
