Verse #1:

I love you

 nothing more to say

I think I might've loved you

Since the very first date

It's been a few years now

Those feelings haven't changed

It's just so much more now

Things aren't the same

Our beautiful portrait

Has a broken frame


Pre Chorus

We can't go on like this

I whisper faintly

So we'll sleep on different sides of the bed

Again


Chorus

"I love you"

I scream from the top of my lungs

Guess I didn't shout

Loudly enough

My throat is sore

But my plea fell on deaf ears

So i'll suffer silently

For a few more years


Verse #2:

Into the attic

That portrait went

Along with all the other things

You say you'll fix someday

I fear that if I take it out

Our masterpiece will break

You'll find a simple solution

Cover it with tape

We both know it won't it won't last much longer that way


Pre Chorus:

We can't go on like this

I yell at your face

So you take your bags

And walk away


Chorus:

"I love you"

I scream from the top of my lungs

Guess I didn't shout

Loudly enough

My throat is sore

But my plea fell on deaf ears

So i'll suffer silently

Fill buckets of tears


Bridge:

I tell you I love you

But hold back the rest

Leaving you will just make me depressed

I show you so much devotion

Give you control of my emotions

Now everything you say

Sinks into my heart like a knife

So long as I love you, there's no escape

I love you

It's ruining my life


Chorus:

"I love you"

I scream from the top of my lungs

Guess I didn't shout

Loudly enough

My throat is sore

But my plea fell on deaf ears

So I'll grab the knife in my heart

Take our portrait and tear it up


Outro:

You hit me like a knife

I love you it's ruining my life

(fades out)

I love you

I love you

I love you


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this is the first one! I interpreted this line as meaning that you love someone so much that it gives them power over you, and when their love for you starts to fade away, it ruins you. 

I hope you liked it!

Love,

Crystal <3
