The Things You Do

Hey there honey-
How are you?
Thought I'd write a little letter
About all the things you do.
About how I'm the one who's wrong
'Cause I don't hang out with your friends
How you ignore me when they're around
And that's when our time together ends
when I actually get you alone
You always seem so sad
I feel like somehow it's my fault
But if I ask you, you always get mad
I feel like I'm losing you
You practically say it by the look in your eyes
It's times like that when you say you love me
And it sounds like nothing but lies
I cry myself to sleep at night
Wondering what I did wrong
Even though I know deep in my heart
You've been this way all along
But I knew what I was getting into
When you asked me out and I said yes
I knew true love wouldn't be easy
But I didn't think it would be such a mess
What scares me the most
That I could never understand
Is how you can take my heart
And hold it in the palm of your hand
They say we like people for their qualities--
And you have plenty of those
But they say we love people for their defects
The things not everyone sees or knows
With all the things you do
That I wrote about today
I love you even more
And I always will--come what may
I know that no one is perfect
I'm not asking you to be
But I want you to know that I love you
And I want to know that you love me
