I Need You to Know

If the sun never rises, if the tides stop, I need you to know

If the world stop stops spinning, if hell freezes over, I need you to know 

If tomorrow never comes, I need you to know that…

 

If all lights go dark, if the world goes up in flames, I need you to know 

If time stops, if plants no longer grow, I need you to know

If tomorrow never comes, I need you to know, I love you

 

I know it's too late, but if I don’t say it now I never will. 

If I don’t get this off my chest, it will stay there and it will never go away, and I will never be the same.  

It will sit inside me and grow and fester into hatred, not of you, but of myself, for never being brave enough to tell you how I truly felt

 

If I don’t tell you now, that will become my biggest regret, my only regret.

That I didn’t tell you when I had the chance, and now it’s too late, well wasn’t that always my excuse, well now its true. 

 

I need you to know, if stars don’t shine, if the clocks stop

I need you to know, if air runs out, if the sidewalk ends

I need you to know, if I don't make it to tomorrow, I might not make it to tomorrow, so I need you to know 

 

I love you, I always have, I always will, I never wanted to, but I never got the choice. 

This feeling was thrust upon me the first time I saw you smile, and it has been revived every time since. 

I did everything I could to get it to go away, but nothing worked

All I know for sure, is that I can’t handle it anymore 

 

When the sun doesn’t rise, when the tides stop, you will know

When the world stops spinning, when hell freezes over, you will know 

When tomorrow never comes, because it wont, not for me at least, you will know, but will you care?
