I feel like I'm talking to a child when you refuse to tell me things
"Please baby, use your words. I cant help if you dont speak."

You say you dont believe in love
but i know that thats a lie
you're just so scared of what it can do
when it creeps into your life

when problems come,
you always just turn you head around.
You run away from things that scare you
and claim they cant be found.

Its not my fault that you cant love
Its not my fault you're damaged
I wish i had listened when you told me
that your disbelief cant be managed...

I wish i could take back all the nights
that i cried in your backseat
searching for all the words i couldn't find
to make you fall in love with me.
"Just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it isnt real."
i said while looking intently for words to say
like you had a sickness words could heal.

but words cant heal,
and love cant reach
a heart that doesn't believe.
