How Do I Tell You?

I'm a little scared you'll leave Even though you tell me you won't I'm a little scared of being Someone that you're scared to love But you don't talk the way he did And you don't say the things he did And I'm not who I was back then But still I'm a little scared to speak Cause I can't find the words to say That I don't wanna make this about me I just can't hold it in today But you don't play the games he did And you don't make me feel like shit And my mom likes you more than him But still How do I tell you That I've come to like the pain? How do I tell you That I don't know what it means To be happy with somebody Don't know anything bout that Who the hell can write a love song Without making it too sad That's all I've been How do I tell you How do I tell you I got it from him? I'm a little prone to feel A little overwhelmed with it all Cause you are someone I want to know And I hope that you don't let me fall You make sure I get home safe And you always know what to say And I feel like I've found my place But still How do I tell you That I've come to like the pain? How do I tell you That I don't know what it means To be happy with somebody Don't know anything bout that Who the hell can write a love song Without making it too sad That's all I've been How do I tell you How do I tell you I got it from him?
