Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

It wasnt always easy

Growing up we had our fights

Though we wouldnt say it

We wanted to play nice

I can safely say were friends

And that I love you too

But years ago that wouldnt happen

Because I didnt get you


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, its complicated

And I need to say it

'Cause time is fading away

I shouldve said it sooner

Who knows what in the future

But now I need you to know


[Chorus]

That I love you

You know its true

You dont need to say it back to me

Because I know you do

And I get it now

You werent allowed

The same life

That youve so gracefully endowed


[Verse 2]

Im happy with it all now

We both had to grow and learn

To understand each other

And with patience we took turns

Im sorry for my anger

I was just too young to know

That cause of your exterior

And just what you wouldnt show


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, its complicated

And I need to say it

'Cause time is fading away

I shouldve said it sooner

Who knows what in the future

But now I need you to know


[Chorus]

That I love you

You know its true

You dont need to say it back to me

Because I know you do

And I get it now

You werent allowed

The same life

That youve so gracefully endowed


[Bridge]

Oh, I love you

You love me too

Unspoken words are preferred

But its the truth

Ill shift the tide

Leave windows wide

We are the start, our change of heart

Will be our guide


[Chorus]

Oh, I love you

You know its true

You dont need to say it back to me

Because I know you do


[Outro]

I do

I know you do
