He would say "I love you" I knew he did I knew I was his world I knew he wanted to hold me To keep me safe So I said "I love you too" He was my king My tiger, my teddybear He was my pillar But he said "I know you don't" I was confused You know I don't? Don't love you? I was confused I was offended I was angry You know I don't? After everything... You know I don't? After all this time You know I don't? After all we had said and done for each other After all the plans we had shared After all the hurdles we'd jumped After all the nights together and all the nights alone After everything You know I don't? I didn't think that having your love rejected Is just as bad as being actually rejected It was a knee to the gut A palm across my face I was giving you my heart and you were dropping it "I love you" "I know you don't" I knew you loved me I could see it I could feel it Why couldn't you see it too?

I know you don't
