On My Mind



I spoke the truth
I spoke my mind
All the twisted thoughts
That was going through me

You wanted to know
You insisted so
I told you what was up
The thoughts I had

I felt pretty scared
about the day that would come
The day you would stop, stop loving me

I never want it to come
Im not that strong
Don't know what i'd do if i'd ever loose u

Slit my wrists?
Or ignore the world
Or plaster a fake smile
Im pretty good at it

Don't know what'll happen
So I hope and pray
That we last forever
Till the end of time.
Is that unrealistic
A silly idea ?

I think we could do it
Last forever
I have faith in us
Our love for one another
is as strong as can be

I love u and u love me

I told u what was up
It was only fair
But I regret doing it now
I really do.

I hate telling you the truth
What's going on in my mind
-the thoughts that go through my mind all day.

So ill fake a smile and laugh it off
Hope ull fall for it
Is that fair enough ?
