Analysis of An Unsaid Thought
Jeffrey J La Point 1977 (Ohio)
An Unsaid Thought
When I say I love you, do you feel the same? When you say you love me, do you mean it?
When I say I need you, do you feel the same? When you say you need me, do you mean it?
When I say I want you, do you feel the same? When you say you want me, do you mean it?
When I say I can't live without you, do you feel the same? When you say you can't live without me, do you mean it?
I know that I don't love you, but I say that I do.
I know that I don't need you, but I say that I do.
I know that I don't want you, but I say that do.
I know I can live without you, but I say that I can't.
