You love me with all your heart

You cared about me from the start

But I won't let myself love you

You never let me forget that I'm beautiful

Even when I look ugly to you I'm beautiful

But I won't let myself love you

You'll do anything to have me

You won't stop until you and I are "we"

But I won't let myself love you

I won't pretend that I love you

For the sake of giving you the love you deserve in return

If you love me

Like I know you do

Then let me go.
