When I say
I love your smile
I really do
Because I've seen people not smile at me.

When I say
You are so nice
You are.
Because I've known people who aren't nice.

When I say
I'm happy
I know I'm happy
Because I've also been sad.

When I say
I love you
I mean it with my whole heart
Because I've had it broken.

When I say
You are my best friend
You are
Because I know what it's like to not have good friends.

When I say
Thanks for listening
It's true
Because I know what it's like not to be heard.

And when I say
Goodbye
I mean it
Because I know it's best.
