I saw all the ways you should've loved me
And only heard all the way you said you loved me

Actions spoke baby
And they screamed

You were afraid to love me
Somewhere in between trusting me

And hating me
You became frightened to be us

So when you showed me you loved me
It was hard for anyone to believe
Because for so long you only spoke
Never acted
And even when you acted
You failed to prove

I just wanted you
I wanted to be free with you
To proudly be yours

I spoke
And I acted
I did both at a rampant speed

I had to prove it to you
You had me
I was okay to love
But fear was too strong
And in the end we were both left
Broken and disappointed.
