Take care of it

I say it's all fine and dandy, and that it's okay. But can't you see past the fake smiles and humorless laughs?
Inside I'm dying, inside I'm crying, Why?

You say you love me, you say you still care, but the damage is done, and where my heart once was,
Nothing is there.
I know you love me, I know you still care, but I feel as if I've been left in despair.

My fragile heart is in your hands now, I hope you'll be delicate, and cherish it somehow.
Please treat it with care, because I'm afraid I've run out of band aids to fix it if it breaks.
The cracks and bruises are just a start, for I fear if you don't care for it, it will fall apart.

You say we are still friends, and I say I understand.
But can't you see past that and see the pain in my eyes?
I'm saying all the right things, the things you want to hear.
To make it easier on you, but my burden is so hard to bear.

Because that's what love is, caring about a person so much you are willing to sacrifice your happiness for theirs.
I'm still here for you, and I still care, I still love and I will still share,
the memories we've made, that will always be dear.
And I hope that our time is near.
When we will be ready to save this special feeling, and be together once again.
