How can I say I love you

How can I say I love you?
When I feel I’m so lost
Not sure of who I am
Where I’m going
Or eventually where I’ll end up

How can I say I love you?
When everything is broken beyond compare
Life happened and changed me forever
Leaving my heart jaded and misconstrued

How can I say I love you?
When you’ll always love another
I don’t ask for much
But still I’ll crave just your simple touch

How can I say I love you?
When I hurt so bad
Watery eyes, constantly sad
Hiding in the shadows of my smile

How can I say I love you?
When my reality has been a lie
Watching my world collapse before my eyes
Trying to pick up the pieces
Not knowing where to begin

How can I say I love you?
Without doubting myself
Lately I’ve been so afraid of saying it aloud
Afraid that you’ll see right through
Afraid that my insecurities
Might turn around and hurt you

How can I say I love you?
And make you believe it’s true
When deep down I know, I’m so broken
There’s no way this heart is truly capable..
