Words Mean So Little
I sometimes get lost in the words I say to you;
What I feel in my heart is too difficult to sort through.
You often try to believe that you understand what I mean;
Truth of it all is, my words are not what they seem.
When I say that I love you and although that is right;
Alone in my bed, is how I would be every night.
It really means that if I lost you, I would break down and cry;
The pain of you being gone, would be too much to hide.
I know that I always say "I miss us spending time together."
Hoping you realize I want to have you forever.
When I say I give up, there is nothing left to mend;
In the back of my mind, I never want this to end.
When you say hurtful things, that are way out of line;
I don't say what I mean, I just tell you I'm fine.
I occasionally say to you that our love is not meant to be;
Praying to God that when I do, you see right through me.
When you are down on one knee, asking me to be your wife;
Knowing this is what I have wanted from you, since you walked into my life.
And although I may laugh and tell you that your proposal wasn't the best;
Remember the kiss I give you, will only be me saying that I definitely mean yes.
Because baby when I say that I would die if you ever walked away;
I really do mean that without you, my heart stops beating for another day.
