I can't tell you how much I love you.
It isn't that I don't want to,
and definitely not because I don't love you;
But I can't tell you how much.

What's to say?
The way you touch my cheek sends sparks through my body
And when you look into my eyes I melt
I hope when you look at me you see past the shell
And into the heart that's yours forever

Don't crush it because it's in your hands
Don't break it by letting me go
I'm hoping you know what I mean in these words
I love you so much,
I really wish you could know.

Just because it's hard for me to explain
Doesn't mean it isn't true
Some of the strongest things are those that remain unspoken
For the heart to hold on to as the world goes on changing around us

It's my dark little secret
And one day I'll let you in
Something to hold on to, to keep as a truth
The only thing that remains the same in our lives
Well that, that will always be my love for you
