You told me you love me
I pushed you away
You held me close and kissed me
I begged you, "Please, not today"

You gazed into my eyes
I felt your heart burn
You touched my hair
And kissed my tear
But still I didn't want
To let you near

I've been hurt before
You said "I understand"
But please don't love me
I can't stand to be hurt any more

You told me you love me,
Again and again
I can't love you yet,
I have to heal
You said "I'm here for you,
just say when"

I left it alone,
Went on my way
But I couldn't forget you,
Day after day
Your words echoed in my head
You told me you love me
But my pain has made me feel dead

I woke up one morning
And watched the sunrise
All I could see was
The look in your eyes
When you held me close
And wispered sweetly,
I love you forever,
I love you completely

I couldn't forget you
For a moment that day
I was shocked when
I heard myself tell you,
I feel the same way
I love you forever,
I love you completely

I couldn't let your love slip away
I knew if I did
I'd live to regret it
You told me you love me
I could never forget it

I found my true love
By letting my fear go
I love you forever,
I love you completely,
I'm letting it show!
