Taking This Shot

I sit here in darkness,
Thinking about you.
How to tell you,
What's happening.
I know that,
I should let it out,
Tell you the truth,
About where I'm going,
And how I feel.

But I can't stand,
To say those 3 words,
Then break it all.
I wish you knew,
I wish I could tell you,
And not cause you pain.
But if I don't tell,
You'll lose something,
You never even had.

Just to say,
I love you,
Without hurting you,
That's all I can think about,
That'd make me happy.
But I can't say,
Anything.
Cause sooner or later,
I'll be taking the fall for you.
Taking this shot,
Just for you.
