Better Not To

Well now really, when we go back then to falling in love

I wanna tell you that I love you

But I'm not going to

Cos I want you to be free

I wanna see what you can do

So I won't tell you that I love you

Even though I do

You don't need to hear it

You already know its true

I've written songs I'll never play you

And messages I've never sent

You were the muse for the works of art

That I hang in my basement

I can't let you find these things

No I can't let you see

If you ever saw them

you'd know what you mean to me

So it's better not to tell you

Better not to say

I couldn't have you knowing

I'd do anything you say

And every day I'll miss you

You're always on my mind

Cos I'll never find intelligence

Like that beauty behind your eyes

I wanna tell you that I want you

I wanna tell you so many things

But I keep them all inside with me

You won't believe the pain it brings

But I know I can bear it

Yeah I know I'll be fine

And I'll be happy if your happy

It doesn't matter if you're mine

Cos its better not to tell you

Better not to say

I couldn't have you knowing

I'd do anything you say

And everyday I'll miss you

You're always on my mind

Cos I'll never find intelligence

Like that beauty behind your eyes

You see, for all the life is an act of faith and an act of gamble

Today I wanna tell you

Tomorrow I won't

I've made the mistake too many times

Of being first to bare my soul

So if I told you that I love you

And looked into your eyes

I couldn't bare you looking back at me

Acting all surprised

And maybe you'd say thank you

And then I'd just want to die

So I won't tell you that I love you
