Your words are quite confusing
Your phrases are too contradicting
Your thoughts are too well hidden
your…
I just don’t know what you mean

Why is it that you make things difficult
Why is it that you are [replace: ‘need to be’] so vague
Why must you hide those [replace: ‘such’] things from me
Why is it that what makes little sense is all you only say
         What I need to hear … {illegible} …. what makes
little sense


I can’t understand. My mind no longer works
My heart can’t stand this confusion much longer
I must know what you want me to be… anarchy
I must [ want to] know what you think

I need to know your guidance (your wants, your aspirations)
I need to know your wants
I need to tell you how much you matter, how much I care
But it’s a catch-22, (you see)
I don’t know what to ask [say]

There are (too) few words I can use
To say what you mean [ quite what I feel]
“I love you” is much, much too trite
“You are my world” is just not enough
So I guess (this Valentine’s) I’ll (just have to) ask…
  “Will you be mine?”
