Here's my reply Yes I don't need to be by your side Of every waking minute I don't have to tell you Baby I love you I don't want to see you Waist deep in your own tears Afraid that I won't love you When mascara runs quicker than fear You asked me Several times in less than an hour How can I love you When your nothing than an emotion wreck My reply was as simple as saying I was the deer caught in the headlights Happy to leave my blood on your bumper I shouldn't have to answer every question Because you already know the answer Long before it spews off this tongue I'm so madly in love with you Criminally insane people call the kettle black If you saw what I see How many tears wouldn't roll down Those rosy hills on your face How can I be your hero When you can't be my sidekick I depend on you just as as much as you do me You asked me So it's my turn to ask you Will you let me love you The way I know you love me
