I think that Clint feels nobody should love him

Or love him for who he is, just for being him

Says he keeps getting phone calls

All these girls breaking his heart

I don’t think he lets himself fall apart

Just holds it in like a typical guy

Never question why?

I don’t know how to convince him

That I love him totally, completely, for always

He likes to live life day by day, and that’s fine

I just wish he knew that I want him to be mine.

How do you say I love you when you’re too afraid?

Saying it jokingly is okay, it’s like a game

To say it the way I mean it scares me to death

Guess it’s his reaction making me hold my breath

The silence is fine if he can’t say it back

But rejection is evil and right now I can’t take that.

Maybe it’s okay to go on not knowing

Hangin’ out, havin fun, none of our emotions showing

But emotions are a part of life

We show different ones every day

I wish someone would clue me in to some way

I could tell him I love him and make him believe it

I don’t think saying it alone would make him see it.

I don’t know why those girls broke his heart on the phone

I just sit and wait for him to come home

Maybe by then I’ll have gotten up the guts

To tell him this isn’t just leftover

Teenaged lust.

He’s always telling me to speak my mind

You’d think out of the dictionary

I could find three words

As a simple explanation

But I’m afraid after I say them

There will be that awkward hesitation.

That moment of silence; the fear to speak

Where I wish I could take back what I said

And he’s wondering if he can even repeat it.
