I know I said I loved you.
Maybe more than a few times.
I'm young and naive.
And I didn't know what it meant.
But I felt this aching in my chest.
And I knew love was not this.
Oh yes, I was naive.
Saying words that held weight.
They dragged my heart down.
And while they lifted up yours.
My heart fell through the floor.
So maybe I was wrong.
To say those heavy words.
And I'm sorry my regret.
Burns a whole through your chest.
But I just can't seem to go on.
Carrying the weight of those words.
The ones that you thought that you held.
But I regret to inform.
Your hands were always empty.
Oh yes, I was naive.
Carrying my love on my shoulders.
And while I held yours in my hand.
I just knew something was off.
No, this was not right.
How can you not see?
These words of infatuation.
Should brighten up my face.
But you were too blinded.
To notice all of these things.
No, your head was in the clouds.
And while I supported your body.
You managed to crush my soul.
So please, can you tell me?
Now can you please just tell me?
How was this ever love?
It seems to me that only you.
Were ever the one to fall in love.
But certainly not with me.
Oh yes, I was naive.
To believe you could ever love me.
And it's not until now.
That I see why I never loved you.
That I see why they were just words.
And here you stand before me.
With a seemingly simple question.
But there are no tears in your eyes.
And there are no tears in my eyes.
And the fight that I see on your face.
Will never be a fight for my heart.
So I'm asking you please.
Do not pretend that you ever cared.
Just turn around so this can end.
In the way that this began.
And in the way that this lived.
With just two people.
Young and naive.
Saying words they did not mean.
And two hearts that never did fit.
Oh yes, we were naive.
