She whispers in your ear
I love you
You don't want to hear but you do
You're forced to say it back
You don't want to lead her down that path
You want to turn away
Instead you turn to her and say
I love you too
She's holding on to hope
And you can feel it
But you lost that long ago
And can't retrieve it
You can see it in her eyes
It's unrequited and deprived
Afraid of all the tears that's your biggest fear
Love is knowing when to stop
Love is moving on
Love is never turning back even when you hear her crying
Love is now
Now
Love is now
Making steps to leave but slowly
You find yourself deceived
By being lonely
It only takes a word and there you are consoling her
Feels right to hold her close
And so your story goes
Love is knowing when to stop
Love is moving on
Love is never turning back even when you hear her crying
Love is now
Now
Love is now
NOW
Now is later than when you should have walked away
It's harder every minute when you're searching for the strength to say
THE STRENGTH TO SAY
Love is knowing when to stop
Love is moving on
Love is never turning back even when you hear her crying
Love is now
Now
Love is now, now (x3)
She whispers in your ear
I LOVE YOU
