I Love You Too
Unveiling Love's Complex Echoes
Lyrics
I heard exactly what you said
I listened carefully to your words
And I knew the ways you do
I understood your habits and behaviors
I was glad to share your bed
I was happy to share your intimate space
Often for a night or two
Often, it was only for a brief period, maybe a night or two
Should have probably smiled instead
I should have expressed joy instead of what followed
When I said I love you too
When I said "I love you too"
I wouldn't say it was a lie
I'm not labeling it as a falsehood
I wouldn't say that it was true
I'm not claiming it as an absolute truth
I shouldn't need an alibi
I shouldn't require an excuse or justification
I didn't mean to misconstrue
I didn't intend to create a misunderstanding
It was an obvious reply
It was a straightforward response
When you told me I love you
When you declared your love to me
You said you feel like such a fool
You expressed feeling foolish
After I tried to start anew
After my attempt to begin again
Then I tried to play it cool
Then I tried to act nonchalant
Like a fool is prone to do
As fools often do
I didn't know it could be cruel
I didn't realize it could be harsh
When I said I love you too
When I responded with "I love you too"
Now you say that we must go
Now you insist that we part ways
That it's time to bid adieu
It's time to say goodbye
How on earth was I to know
How could I have known
As this night is turning blue
As the night becomes melancholic
I would feel the undertow
I would experience a hidden struggle
It turns out it was true
It turns out your statement was accurate
