They Say We're In Love


As I drift off to sleep My mind runs back to the time with you Each second with you better than the one before And I cry because I know you don't feel this way... And they asked me Are we in love? And I wished so hard I could answer them But the words stuck in my throat I knew they weren't true Cause I knew I wasn't being true Do you remember? Everytime you laugh? I do. Cause when you laugh I feel my heart melt and quicken in beat Till it matches yours and I can't help but laugh For the joy I finally found But then they ask: Are we in love? And I wished so hard I could answer them But the words stuck in my throat I knew they weren't true Cause I knew I wasn't being true I can't keep this up I hold her close but I can't feel her She senses something's wrong But she can't understand She looks into my eyes and asks me: Are we in love? And I wished so hard I could answer her But the words stuck in my throat I knew they weren't true Cause I knew I wasn't being true
