Saying I Didn't Love You (That Would Be a Lie)

Staring with deep intensity into my eyes,
I can feel the words you long to say,
And I never said I wasn't ready to hear them,
But I think you already know that I'm not,
So you're better off holding back for now.

I hide from these words because I'm scared,
And at least I'm not afraid to admit the truth,
It's just that I know the type of lover that I am,
And once I get attached I can never let go,
So then I fall, and I don't just fall, I fall hard.

I'm not afraid to place my trust in your hands,
Nor am I afraid to open up my heart to yours,
It has to do with the fact that I'm afraid of getting hurt,
But saying I didn't love you, that would be a lie,
Because I fell in love with you so very long ago.

So erase the heartache and sorrow from your eyes,
For they're too perfect to look so destroyed,
And one day I promise you, we will exchange these words,
But for now, just know that I'm not going anywhere but here,
Because I want to stay in your arms forever.

Staring with deep intensity into your eyes,
I can feel the words you long to hear,
And I never said I wasn't ready to say them,
But I think I already know that I'm not,
So I'm better off holding back for now.
