Don't Say You Love Me

Daniel Stewart

Don't tell me you love me
If you are not sincere!
For a lie that strong can ruin a life,
And bring on a new fear.
Fear to be loved,
Fear to ever love again.

It can cause a fragile heart
To break, tear and bend.
Image a life that will be emptied
From one small deceptive deed.
I put all of my trust within you
Please don't say love me,

Unless you truly do.
