There, I said it

I don't know how to tell you how I feel

There's an ache in my chest that may not heal

I can't ask you to care if you already don't 

And I hate that I do and I hate that you won't.

I don't know how to tell you how I feel

I'm not even sure if any of it is real

But you can trust in my faults all laid out bare

Trust in the lies that are not there

Trust that what I want is your happiness

Even if I feel like I'm falling off a precipice

Because I love you, so there, I said it

But you'd never know unless you read it

I adore so much about you and it's useless 

Because I hate that I do and I hate that I do this

Because I know you don't feel the same 

And it doesn't matter what you may claim

I can't trust my own mind on a normal day

But I know how good it'd feel to hear you say

I love you. There, I said it.
