I Would

By xX pretty vacant Xx

i'd tell you the truth
i think it's better unsaid
i'd tell you what's wrong
but it's just all in my head
i'd look in your eyes
but then you'd know i'm lying
i'd break down in your arms
don't want you to see me crying

i'd change me for you
but i don't know who i am
i'd make things okay
but i dont see how i can
i'd tell you i love you
but i don't feel a thing
i'd fly away from here
but someone broke my wings

i'd open you my heart
but someone sewed it shut
i'd let you deep inside me
but i'm so afraid of love
i'd give up my soul forever
but there's not a lot to give
i'd spend my life with you
but i am not sure how to live

i'd write a proper love poem
but i just can't find the words
i'd let myself believe you
but i'm scared that it might hurt
i'd look forward to the future
but i'm still living in the past
i'd say i love you too
but i can never love you back....
