I know that I can't be what you want;
because my heart is absolutely true
and know I will not give up on you.
That's why you can't ever love me.
He holds you the same as I would,
plays and messes with your hair
just like I would if you were mine.
Every soft kiss on his lips kills me.
You sit up late and talk with him on the phone;
just like we used to stay up late and talk
like that time we spent 24 hours of a weekend
being in each other's company... just talking...
But you never fell for me the way you fell for him
or the way you fell for your last boyfriend
or the one before him, or the one before him.
Five years. Five boyfriends. None me.
None love you like me.
*And that is why you can't ever love me.
Because you know that I'll stick around
When everything falls apart
And try and be your everything
Because I truly love you
And you fear that love*
