Mixed Emotions

*

I know you want to get closer,

I know that you're just too scared.

But don't worry I won't hurt you,

You won't shed a tear...

You know I want to be with you,

No matter how quickly you get pissed.

I'll stop trying so damn hard,

Just as long as you know I exist.

If I could just come out and tell you,

Believe me I would…

But I can't do that if I'm not going to get anything back.

It'd be nothing but empty words.

I don't want to get hurt,

But I do want to be with you.

I don't want you to hate me,

In other words: what the fuck should I do?
