Don't you think it'd be a mistake not to say I love you?
With every moment I'm awake, I pray my message goes through.
My hands are tied, I never lied, but you surely ought to think so.
Some things change, others stay the same. In the end, I'll always love you.
(chorus)
Please don't push me away.
I hope you're happy today.
What does it mean if I stay?
Well I hope you're happy today.
Hold yourself high, don't look for a reply 'cause you know good will come around soon.
Listen for love, you're missing moments of beauty shrouded in notes out of tune.
Things can look far when you walk in the dark. Just know I'll always lend you my hand.
If you stick around, leave your heart to be found by a soul on both feet it can stand.
(chorus)
Please don't push them away.
They might be gone some day.
Forever I hope and I pray.
That you are most happy today.
