Lyrics
If I told you that I love you
there'd be no more to say
If I told you that I love you
There would be no way
That I could look at you
No, I couldn't look at you the same way
If I told you that I love you
I wouldn't mean it and that's not okay
Slow down
If I told you that I like you
That's a little far-fetched I'd say
If I told you that I like you
It wouldn't be today
But I think that's just fine
We can be neutral instead of aligned
If I told you that I like you, then it would be a lie
If I told you that I hate you
that'd be about right
If I told you that I hate you
would you start a fight
Or would split our paths
and end this foolish game you play
cause I'm telling you that I hate you
and that's all that I can say
