I listen to you talk and feel very small
I only asked if you were mine
But instead I receive this long spiel
You tell me you want to be with me
Only you're not ready for a relationship
I try to find the words to explain how I feel
Only they stick to my tongue and cloud my mind
I end up more confused than before
Wishing I hadn't brought it up
I don't want to be your rebound girl
Or the girl you want just for sex
I hide my feelings from you
Because I know you're not ready for them
But the longer I hide them the more pain I feel
It's getting harder not to call you my love
Through this all you are still unsure
I am left with my hurting heart
Until you decide what you want
But I want you to remember
That even though I never said the words
That I do love you
