When I Say I Love You

I am comforted Although it is not enough At least I don't put that in mind Although this love is tough And that I try to hide At least I can trick my mind Or maybe my heart That when I say "I love you" You're the one saying it to me At first I'd say it's my impatience But even the waiters would've lost patience There's not a tip of love left for me in you Otherwise we wouldn't be here And I can see this ain't going anywhere Yet I am at peace Or at least that's what I'd like to think 'Cause I tell my mind Or maybe my heart That when I say "I love you" You're the one saying it to me And for the first time in my life I doubt I'll look at this and find something to laugh 'Cause now I have had enough YOU FAILED ME I hate to say it but this drained me And then I lost 'Cause I to trick my mind to forget you Not for you or for me But for US, I told my heart to release you And this time when I said "I forgive you" I felt you're the one saying "I'm sorry"
