I gotta tell you,

I gotta tell you how I feel, and I 
gotta tell you today 
Because if I don't then I'm sure the 
words will slip away 
It was a warm day when I first saw 
your face 
I really didn't like you I thought you 
were a disgrace 
I was in love with a stupid boy 
But he broke my heart and threw 
me away like an old toy 
I thought me and him were meant 
to be 
I thought sleeping with you would 
bring him back to me 
I was flirting with you so he would 
know 
I was acting like a stupid hoe 
I met up with you and I had fun 
Before I knew my feellings for him 
were done
I didn't think I'd ever like you the 
way that I do 
I never really thought I'd fall in love 
with you 
But here I am crying on the bed of 
which I lay 
Thinking about everything that I 
should have said to make you stay 
I think about the happy times that 
we went through together 
You'd think by now I would know 
that nothing lasts forever 
Still the tears keep falling and I 
don't know what to do 
I really want to tell you how much I 
love you 
But I cannot say those words to you 
because you will not say them to 
me 
I know you never meant them, 
that's one thing I could see 
I didn't know everything I felt for 
you until it was all over 
But now it's just so hard to even 
stay sober I know I go and hit on all 
of your friends But that's because I 
want you to get jelous, I don't want 
it to be the end 
All I want is for you to hold me and 
tell me everything will be alright 
You won't do it, but I still wait day 
after day night after night 
I actually thought you meant it 
when you said you loved me too
I think it's time to forget about you
Even though you didn't mean those 
wordsI swear I meant the lot 
I don't know why I'm still preying 
when I know it is the end 
I guess i just want hope, I wish you 
were my friend 
We were never just friends so I'll try 
not to cry 
I love you so much but it's time to 
say goodbye.
