Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me.*
Though, hours go by and I realize how I'm forever hung up on you.
You make it seem as though your heart is miles away from me
That it's so far out of my grasp
I extend my arm out to reach for it
When you use it to pull me closer to you
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words broke your heart.
And I receive the result of your pain
As I lie down, I try and I try but only die a little bit inside while repeatedly asking myself, "Why won't he say it to me if he feels the need to?"
You know that I will never hurt you
But I guess no one has ever had an easy time believing that when heard.
Your actions show love but the cat got your tongue.
I promise you, its not dumb
Now my heart's numb but never enough to stop loving you.
So all I need you to do is: *Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me too.
