i'm scared to lie in my bed
i'm too tired to make it later on.
so i sit on the floor in my room
and i think and write songs about you.
and do you think of what you do?
it seems unlikely.
do you think
before you say
that you love me?
i know for boys like you
it is a trivial thing;
ignore your brain
and
follow your heart
but
you jumped into this knowing that
girls like me
are not so forgiving
our hearts are guarded
by a fear of intimacy,
lock and key
thrown into the sea
i never say it to your face,
but i whisper it to the wind and trees.
evidently i write out my love
and toss it in to the rubbish bin afterwards
though the sunflowers know i love you
cuz i water them and sing
i love him i love him i love him
but i can never say it to you
and that leaves you blue
and confused
so understand, i know you love me
but i have trouble finding the words.
my thoughts escape me
and i think i love you
but i think it's too soon
to say
i love you.
you're going to get bored and run away
you're going to leave and i won't make you stay.
you're going to forget about me like a bad daydream.
you're going to move on and be happy with someone who is not me; with someone who loves you and can say
i love you i love you i love you.
i don't want to make you sad anymore
i can't give you what you need
so i think it's best for you and me
if you were to just leave.
