where did i make the mistake baby,
did i expect to much ?
all i did was say 'i like you'
and act, the way i felt

could you not accept a simple
gesture of love, did it put you
under so much pressure, that you
ceased to share the warmth of your smile

was it so hard to feel the love
or was it hard for you to appreciate someone
with whom you you would have little time with
or, was it simply me ?

was i really too nice ?
hmmm, if you like someone then
you simply want the best for them,
and you let them go,
is that being nice ?

i don't know and at this moment, it hurts
so i'm trying not to care, but i said what i felt and
if that put you off, then baby let me step aside,
you are simply too precious to me.
