| It wasn’t always easy
|
| Growing up we had our fights
|
| Though we wouldn’t say it
|
| We wanted to play nice
|
| I can safely say we’re friends
|
| And that I love you too
|
| But years ago that wouldn’t happen
|
| Because I didn’t get you
|
| Oh, it’s complicated
|
| And I need to say it
|
| 'Cause time is fading away
|
| I should’ve said it sooner
|
| Who knows what’s in the future
|
| But now I need you to know
|
| That I love you
|
| You know it’s true
|
| You don’t need to say it back to me
|
| Because I know you do
|
| And I get it now
|
| You weren’t allowed
|
| The same life
|
| That you’ve so gracefully endowed
|
| Oh-oh, oh-oh
|
| I’m happy with it all now
|
| We both had to grow and learn
|
| To understand each other
|
| And with patience we took turns
|
| I’m sorry for my anger
|
| I was just too young to know
|
| The cause of your exterior
|
| And just what you wouldn’t show
|
| Oh, it’s complicated
|
| And I need to say it
|
| 'Cause time is fading away
|
| I should’ve said it sooner
|
| Who knows what’s in the future
|
| But now I need you to know
|
| That I love you
|
| You know it’s true
|
| You don’t need to say it back to me
|
| Because I know you do
|
| And I get it now
|
| You weren’t allowed
|
| The same life
|
| That you’ve so gracefully endowed
|
| Oh, I love you
|
| You love me too
|
| Unspoken words are preferred
|
| But it’s the truth
|
| I’ll shift the tide
|
| Leave windows wide
|
| We are the start, our change of heart
|
| Will be our guide
|
| Oh, I love you
|
| You know it’s true
|
| You don’t need to say it back to me
|
| Because I know you do
|
| I do
|
| I know you do |
