Hard To Say I Love You

All those nights I lay awake thinking

Picturing the only love of my life

Those times I think of you and me

Can't do anything but make a sigh

For I'm left alone in solitude

And all I've been doing is protecting

Deny these feelings and lock them inside

A lie for the sake of my boastful pride

While all the others set me thinking

We could be more than just amazing

But if I say these words to you

Would you even care to listen and believe?

It's just hard to admit that I love you

For all emotions are taking me over

Knowing that I need you but can't have you
