The day you said 'I love you',
I became breathless and had nothing to say.
And I could see the hurt in your eyes,
as you began to walk away.
But what did you expect?
For me to answer right away?
In a blink of a eye you were gone,
Not waiting to see what I had to say.
What if I said I loved you right back?
What if I said it right away?
What if I was to ask what took you so long?
What if you weren't wrong?
What if those words had come from my mouth?

For years I've wanted to tell you,
For years I wanted to shout .
For so long I have been biting my tongue,
It's bleeding for me to just spit it out.
I wanted to say that for days,
I wanted to tell you in so many ways.
But you will never know
'cause once you made up your mind to walk away,
I found all the words I wanted to say.
