I Love You's

“I love you”

Do you love me?
I know I heard you say it but did you mean it?
Because when the words flowed off your lips, I could tell they might not be the truth
I could tell I might not be the girl for you
So forgive me from my refrain
Because I so clearly see your pain
And I can’t let myself do it again

I can’t fall in love with someone who does not love me
Someone who just wants someone to be close to
Someone who intends to use me
Like a brilliant piece
Composed by an orchestra

I don’t want you to look at me and ask, “why’d you torture her?”

But at the same time, I find myself falling for you all over again
As if it was predestined from above
You make it so easy to taste,
The subtle, creeping sensation of love

And I can’t fight it but I try
To make myself stronger than you think.
Only I fail and I’m at the brink
Of saying it once again

You said it first
But it could’ve been a lie, an untruth
And I know that
But still I utter to you,

“I love you too.”
