Just don’t say you love me

Don't say you love me back

Please don't say you love me

Because I might love you back


My hearts been broken a few times

Maybe that’s an understatement

It’s been hurt not just by my lovers

But by fathers and mothers

And sisters and brothers


Just don’t say you love me

Don't say you love me back

Please don't say you love me

Because I might love you back


I’m scared of this feeling

It should be safe and appealing

So then why 

Why 

Why do I say…


Just don’t say you love me

Don't say you love me back

Please don't say you love me

Because I might love you back


Maybe I'll give you my heart

If you promise to hold it close and dear

Say “honey, there’s nothing here to fear”

Maybe, just maybe I’ll let those walls disappear

So hold me closer dear


Just don’t say you love me

Don't say you love me back

Please don't say you love me

Because I might love you back


And I think

I think I love you
