I Could Tell You I Love You

I could tell you I love you

But where would be the sense in that?

I could tell you I'll be yours forever

But would you want to hear that?

I could tell you that my heart is yours

But will you break it just like that?

I could tell you I dream of you

But would you have nightmares about that?

I could tell you we will grow old together

But would you age in fear of that?

I could tell you tales of our future

But will you run and hide from that?

I could tell you that I'm here for you

But would you turn to someone else for that?

I could tell you I love you

But why waste my breath with that?
