If I said it, how would you react?
A smile, a laugh
Or would you take a step back

If I told you, would you leave?
Take my heart, and part from me
Or would you take my hand
Could you even understand?

If I told you I loved you
Would you tell me you loved me too?
Or am I simply a crush
Am I not enough?

If I told you I loved you
It wouldn’t mean a thing
You’re the one with a wedding ring
