the truth


i had to tell you

i kept it inside

i had to tell you

it was eating me alive

 

when you said I love you

the very first time

i said it back

but you couldn't read my mind

I didn't mean it

but i knew eventually I would

So I hid it

as best as I could

 

when i told you

you hid your pain

you twisted it

and told me you did the same

we both know

that thats not true

because right after

you asked if it meant we were dating

 

it was too soon

only been a few weeks

it was so fast

but your truth speaks.
