I... Can't

I don't know what you expect from me,
I don't know if you expect a change.
I don't know what you're clinging to,
I don't know if you want me to rearrange.

I'm telling you now,
I'm not the person you think I am.
I'm not this unique human being,
If anything, I'm a sham.

I can't tell you I love you,
I already lead you on.
I just don't think I can hurt you,
but I'm scared I see you as just a pawn.

I don't like to see you cry,
or to see you struggle through pain.
I want to tell you how I really feel,
but you love me like the rain.

And I'm afraid if I were to tell you,
you would fall apart.
I can't stand to see you,
turn into my heart.

Black.
Empty.
Cold.
Lonely.
