if i said "i love you",
would you resent me?
would you recoil in disgust at my forwardness?

or would you embrace me?
would you throw your arms around me and kiss me how you do?

one day the words "i love you" will fall from my lips upon your ears
and i hope you will say it back.

you can hug and touch me all you want,
but even in my afterglow i can feel your sadness

she tries to love me the best she can,
but its never enough

everyone says i look sad in pictures,
even when i'm smiling
i think its because my inner child is showing

you'll try to love me the best you can,
but it won't be enough

i really want you to trust me, but i don't think you ever will.
i really want you to love me, but i don' think you can.
you go through the motions
i see it
it's hollow
you know what to do, but you don't feel it
i don't feel it

i wish you would come with me
i wish you would want to come with me
how can i make you come with me?
how can i make you do anything?
you wont do anything.

i wish you would do something
i wish you would cry for me like i cry for you
i wish i knew what to do with these feelings
i wish we had more time.

i don't love you, i just think i see so much of myself in you.
i want to love you, i just don't think i have enough time.
i really want you to love me, but i don't think you can.

you don't love me
you can't love me
you won't love me

i want you to love me
i want you to love me
i want you to love you

the more you know me, the easier it'll be to hurt me.
men like to say "i'll never hurt you"
with all the right intentions.
but, i know it's a lie.
you know it's a lie.
you just lied to me, and that makes me dislike you a little bit more.
