I said convince me you love me, and you say keep this only in the mind
But you forgot that I wanted something concrete, written, and left for all to find
I said convince me you love me, and you say here is a page I filled out
But I thought you would prove more devout
I said convince me you love me, and you say here are the words you requested it’s finished
But you let typos into your letter and fill it
I said convince me you love me, and you say clichés are to be condemned
But cliches are only cliches if you care to say them
I said convince me you love me, and you say words restated depreciate
But words never said leave me with nothing to appreciate
I said convince me you love me, and you say here is an idiom I don’t think you’ll get
But you weren’t supposed to make me upset
I said convince me you love me, and you say thanks
But you should have said I love you, you shouldn't have left any blanks
I said convince me you love me, and you tell me your words have been chosen carefully, casually, and with the intention of being a fleeting moment of the present
But I did not feel that
I said convince me you love me,
But I am unconvinced

I said convince me you love me, and you say keep this only in the mind
But you forgot that I wanted something concrete, written, and left for all to find
I said convince me you love me, and you say here is a page I filled out

I said convince me you love me, and you say here are the words you requested it’s finished
But you let typos into your letter and fill it
I said convince me you love me, and you say clichés are to be condemned
But cliches are only cliches if you care to say them
I said convince me you love me, and you say words restated depreciate
But words never said leave me with nothing to appreciate
I said convince me you love me, and you say here is an idiom I don’t think you’ll get
But you weren’t supposed to make me upset
I said convince me you love me, and you say thanks
But you should have said I love you, you shouldn't have left any blanks
I said convince me you love me, and you tell me your words have been chosen carefully, casually, and with the intention of being a fleeting moment of the present
But I did not feel that
I said convince me you love me,
But I am unconvinced
