I told a lie, I know it now
Words that I never should’ve allowed
I approached you with a hollow grin
Acting light, hiding the "Love" within
You were so lonely, standing there
Reaching out hands, unaware
Deep inside my frozen chest
A sudden warmth was put to the test
The start was cruel, and oh so cold
But then the truth began to unfold
Seeing your eyes, so straight and gold
The world I was supposed to break apart
You turned it into light, right from the start
Even if everything began with a lie
The feelings became real, as time went by
The sky we watched together, just us two
That day, it looked a brilliant shade of blue
But with the truth left unsaid, deep inside
I locked my heart, with nowhere left to hide
With just the words "It’s okay," you see
So many times, you rescued me
I was the one closest to your side
Yet I’m the one who hurt your pride
I couldn't be honest, I couldn't be real
Too scared of what the truth might reveal
With every smile, the thorns grew deep
A harvest of sins I had to keep
If we had started differently back then
Would we have avoided the "if" and "when"?
Was this distance a test, again and again?
Hey, if I could go back to the start
I’d want to begin with an honest heart
The warmer our joined hands feel today
The more my tears start to fall away
Even when the mask finally fell
You didn't blame me, I can tell
But still, I feel I’m not the one
Not worthy of you, under the sun
I was so scared to believe in anything
In days like thin glass, fragile and thin
But the only thing I could trust, it's true
Was your voice, your hand, the kindness of you
Holding my shattered heart so tight
You just smiled at me, in the light
The wounds I couldn't tell a soul about
You accepted them all, without a doubt
I’m singing this feeling, loud and clear
The first real love I’ve ever held near
Born in the middle of a false disguise
The name of this warmth, I realize
Spring is coming, the night fades away
The cold wind feels gentle at the end of the day
The sky of that day floats back to my mind
Your tiny hand is the light that I find
The tears, the lies, the deep regret
Wasted? No, not a single one yet
Just by meeting you, I can see
I’ve changed into the "Me" I’m meant to be
"I love you..."
Now, finally, those words can set me free
"I love you."
