If you love me,

Love me like you don't know

That I am falling apart on the inside

That my smile doesn't hide the pain in my eyes

That when I say I'm fine, it's just another lie.

~

If you love me,

Pretend that everything will be okay

That I haven't lost my way

And that the whole world hasn't gone astray.

~

If you really love me,

Then let me suffer the agony, hard and long,

Let me cry all night, a sad and whimpering song,

Let me crawl into the dark corner where I belong.

~

If you love me

Yes, me,

Then let me be with this treachery.

I've fallen far too deep,

For you to forgive me.
