I can't pretend

I can't pretend that I don't love you,
But I can hide it deep down inside,
I won't tell you how you make me feel,
I'll just sit back, relax, and hide.

I won't say your eyes are enhancing,
Or that you have a perfect smile,
But, baby it's still killin' me how,
My letters sit unopened in a pile.

If I can't talk to you in person,
At least read what I have to say,
'Cause this is pure torture,
Living like this from day-to-day.

I accepted your wish to ignore you,
Just as I guess I should,
But boy, in my heart, Imma wishing,
To tell you, if only I could.

I love you, I love you, I love you,
Nothing in the world can change that fact,
And I'll wait here forever,
For you to just take me back.
