i want to tell you how i'm feeling

but i will hold it back

for you

i want to show you that i care

but i will pretend that i don't

for you

i want to show you how i'm hurting

but i will gently tell you no

for you

i want to tell you all about exciting things

but i will leave you alone

for you

i want to ask you how you're feeling

but i will try to keep things platonic

between us

for you









i'll feel less like myself, but at least i'll be taking care of you..
