Songs I Write | III

I Can Only Love You

You said you'd be here more
But now you're gone
And the pain continues to soar
And it feels so long

And I cry these real tears
Only my cat will see
And he will sit right beside me
Where I'd hoped you would be

I don't know what I expected
'Cause I know that you deserve more
I can only love you so much
But I can't keep you satisfied enough, no
I don't know what I was thinking
When I told you I was in love
'Cause you deserve more than just me
I can only love you so much

My mother tells me to get some rest
Hang out with some friends at lunch
I don't have any friends left
No, not even one

My father tells me I'm too sad
But so does everybody else
And I don't care anymore if I look like that
I'm too miserable to pretend to be myself

I don't know what I expected
'Cause I know that you deserve more
I can only love you so much
But I can't keep you satisfied enough, no
I don't know what I was thinking
When I told you I was in love
'Cause you deserve more than just me
I can only love you so much

I only ask of you to be here
Just stay, you don't have to say anything at all, though it would be nice
And it would be just fine if you'd close your eyes
But be here, being here would make it alright, alright, alright

I don't know what I expected
'Cause I know that you deserve more
I can only love you so much
But I can't keep you satisfied enough, no
I don't know what I was thinking
When I told you I was in love
'Cause you deserve more than just me
I can only love you this much
