Do I scare you With all the sweet nothings that I whisper in your ear? Am I compared to The lovers that you had that crippled you with fear? Do you love me? Or are you echoing the things I want to hear? 'Cause it still hurts me to know that the Things that you have said might disappear You don't have to love me You don't have to lie But when you laugh at my affection All I can do is cry Loving you is not something I should have to hide Have I lost them? All the things that made me seem so right to you Did you consider the cost when You dove down head first in what might be a shallow pool? Am I just being anxious? Begging for medicine when really theres no wound? Well, wouldn't that be nice But this hole inside is showing me the truth You don't have to love me You don't have to lie But when you laugh at my affection All I can do is cry Loving you is not something I should have to hide You don't have to love me You don't have to lie But when you laugh at my affection All I can do is cry Loving you is not something I should have to hide Loving you is not something I should have to hide
