unspoken words

It wasn't always easy Growing up we had our fights Though we wouldn't say it We wanted to play nice I can safely say we're friends And that I love you too But years ago that wouldn't happen Because I didn't get you Oh, it's complicated And I need to say it 'Cause time is fading away I should've said it sooner Who knows what's in the future But now I need you to know That I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do And I get it now You weren't allowed The same life That you've so gracefully endowed I'm happy with it all now We both had to grow and learn To understand each other And with patience we took turns I'm sorry for my anger I was just too young to know The cause of your exterior And just what you wouldn't show Oh, it's complicated And I need to say it 'Cause time is fading away I should've said it sooner Who knows what's in the future But now I need you to know That I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do And I get it now You weren't allowed The same life That you've so gracefully endowed Oh, I love you You love me too Unspoken words are preferred But it's the truth I'll shift the tide Leave windows wide We are the start, our change of heart Will be our guide Oh, I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do, I do I know you do
