say

meant to say --i love you-- but it came out --go away--
meant to say --i need you-- but instead said --please, don't stay--
meant to say that you're the one i cannot do without.
you hung the sun and moon and stars. you're water to my drought.
instead spent all night yelling, throwing things about.

why is it i cannot say the things you want to hear?
am i being stubborn? is there something that i fear?
i'm not afraid - i'm weary saying words i don't believe in.
hard to be the giving one with you always receiving.
ask me why again, you will find me leaving.
