Something Broken

I Love you

I love you so much
I can't ever be the reason you hurt
I refuse to be your pain
I cannot be even a paper cut on your heart
So I will bite my tongue
I say nothing but I love you

I will tell you I'm sorry
so that you don't have to be
I will always be sorry
Even if I did nothing wrong I will apologize
It is who I am
I can't hurt you
So I bury it all
I hide my feelings to protect yours

I would break down a million walls to get to your heart
But I would use those bricks to build more around mine
How do I open up
I love you I trust you
But I'm afraid to tell you
When something bothers me
I won't create the barrier between us
I will not be the reason that we fall apart

So I keep quiet
I bite my tongue
Because
I love you
And you deserve better
