Simpler Said Than Felt

by Ashes of a Black Rose aka Night Child   Nov 6, 2007


I love how you'll come over for dinner,
End up doing my dishes,
Even thought, you know, it's my house.
I love how you'll put on Dad's old top hat,
Put the suds on your chin,
And say "Baby, look at me,
I'm Abraham Lincoln!"
Then you use the excuse,
"I just did it to see you smile,
Haven't seen that in a while,
And I love you."
But I won't say it back, 'cause...

It's just so simple to say,
And so damn hard to feel it that way.
And I like you way more than I should,
More than I thought I could,
But I can't get my mind off of you.

I love how you get off of work,
And its one AM,
And you call me again,
Just to say "Goodnight, it'll be alright,
I'm with you."
And I can hear you breathe
As I fall asleep,
The last words I hear
Are "Baby, I'm still here,
And I love you."
And I want to say it back, but...

It's just so simple to say,
And so damn hard to feel it this way.
And I like you more than I should,
More than I said I would,
Can't get my mind off of you.

And I love how youâ??ll write me a letter,
When I've had a bad day,
Saying "Just wrote to say,
It'll be okay, you just had an off-day,
And these are all of the ways,
That I love you."
And then there's a list:
How my eyes change color,
How I sing in the shower,
How I bake for no reason,
Wear coats out of season,
How my socks never match,
How I love you back, but wont say it.

Well I will, I swear,
I LOVE YOU.

It's just so simple to say,
And so damn hard to feel it this way.
Now I like you more than I should,
More than I said I would,
More than I thought I could,
And I can't get my,
Don't want my,
Mind... off of you...

'Cause I love you...
