I Love You

If I could
I'd put away my sorrow
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow
To let you know how I feel

If I could
I'd look you in the eyes
And it wouldn't be a surprise
I would know what to say

But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do

Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you

But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise always to keep
This broken heart that wants you

If I could
Every time you held me close
Remembering when love at most
Burned in flames
Died away

If I could
I'd take you by the hand
And I'm sure you'd understand
Why it is I want you so

But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do

Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you

But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise always to keep
This broken heart that wants you
