i want you to love me
but i don't want to have to love you
i know that is selfish
but it is all that i can do now
i have walked this line before
and crashed and burned
but here i am
walking down this path again
i wanted just five minutes of your time
just five minutes of you and me
so i could give you something
so i could say the words that i needed to say
so this bitterness wouldn't stick
so these tears would of passed me by
i just needed you for a few minutes
to express myself properly
to tell you that i love you
and that i miss you
and that i need you
even though i know that i can't have you
but i had to tell you
and i didn't get my chance
the moment never came
and now i am sitting here
wanting you to love me
and hoping that i don't have to in return
would you tell me that i am crazy
would you just tell me to go to hell
and slap me across my face
scream at me
that you don't ever want to see me again
and turn and walk away
because i think that is what i need
unless you love me
because i would rather have that
