"In Return"
I say I'm okay
Because I'm in love with you
Even when I know you don't love me back
I say I'm okay
Because I'm afraid to lose you
Even when you promised you would never leave
I say I'm okay
Because I'm afraid I'll scare you away
Even when you say my happiness means the world to you
I say I'm okay
Because despite what you say
You've never really been there for me at all
And even though
You don't return
All the things I do for you
I still go out of my way
Every day
To ensure your happiness
Because you say you're okay
Even when I know you're struggling in your classes
And you say you're okay
Even when I know you want to give up
You say you're okay
Even when I know you're still hurt by her
You say you're okay
Even when I know you're nowhere near it
But I make sure your safe anyway
Because I know that you need me
Because I don't want to lose you
Because I love you even if you don't love me at all
