I Need To Know

Can't you see it in my eyes?
Can't you read it on my face?
There are things I want to tell you.
There are words I can't seem to say.

Don't you see it in my smile?
Don't you hear it in my voice?
The way I feel about you is crazy,
but life isn't giving me a choice.

I love you so much that it hurts.
It's been killing me not to say that.
I can't keep quiet anymore.
I just need to know if you love me back.

My heart says that you do.
My mind is taking longer to be sure.
Your signals are so mixed that I can't tell.
Please tell me, for this uncertainty my soul can't endure.
