Every time your eyes lock mine Those three words float to the edge of my mouth and dance along to tip of my tongue as they gently brush your lips I’ve said it to you a hundred times as you slept in my arms Ive whispered it behind you as you walked on ahead You said you would be in trouble if you could read minds Please don’t read mine Just three words That I can’t say to your face That I tell you in little ways everyday I lose myself In the way you look at me Nobody’s ever looked at me like that Truthfully I’ve lost myself in you completely and I don’t want to be found When did you do this to me? I feel like I’m going to throw up Maybe these are what they call butterflies Why can’t I say it First you took my eyes And with it you stole my heart It’s silent Should I say it? Hold it back Then you stole my mouth, and my words were yours What are you thinking about? I said it Silence my chest is sinking and I’m drowning along side it Can you feel my pain through my eyes? The eyes you stole My words are lacking now My mouth is yours remember I have nothing right to say My heart it’s bleeding in your hands Do you want it?

You make me vulnerable
Every time your eyes lock mine Those three words float to the edge of my mouth and dance along to tip of my tongue as they gently brush your lips I’ve said it to you a hundred times as you slept in my arms Ive whispered it behind you as you walked on ahead You said you would be in trouble if you could read minds Please don’t read mine Just three words That I can’t say to your face That I tell you in little ways everyday I lose myself In the way you look at me Nobody’s ever looked at me like that Truthfully I’ve lost myself in you completely and I don’t want to be found When did you do this to me? I feel like I’m going to throw up Maybe these are what they call butterflies Why can’t I say it First you took my eyes And with it you stole my heart It’s silent Should I say it? Hold it back Then you stole my mouth, and my words were yours What are you thinking about? I said it Silence my chest is sinking and I’m drowning along side it Can you feel my pain through my eyes? The eyes you stole My words are lacking now My mouth is yours remember I have nothing right to say My heart it’s bleeding in your hands Do you want it?
We’re you too scared to say it back or do you just not feel the same as me?
