Can I just tell you I love you? Here in this shallow world that holds fear of commitment Where trust becomes weakened by fame and unmentionable regret We stand face to face in our passion holding tightly to our desires Can I just tell you I love you? As if we have never been hurt before As if it's our first love and we aren't even a bit prepared Because being prepared for something indescribable seems strange to both of us Can I just tell you I love you? Without hesitation of not receiving the same kind of love back It's fiery in my heart and extinguished in yours Let me strike up a match and let our doubts burn Can I just tell you I love you? Or does that seem completely unreasonable Because I don't know who this is for Or why it even came to mind
