I wish I could tell you I loved you
without fear
without pain
I wish that I had the courage to hold you
and tell you everything
will be okay
There are times when it feels so close
I can hardly breathe
but the moments pass quickly
and I'm left here to bleed
I don't trust myself enough to admit how I feel
So lying is the only way I know
to keep everything real
You look at me
and I swear I can see the same feelings
staring back at me
It seems all an illusion
that can only lead to my destruction
I know now
as I have always known
that my love for you is doomed
And not because you love another
but simply because
it's you
