unspoken words

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
 ♪
 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
