If I Have to Ask

If I have to ask you Then I guess you don't If I have to question I guess that I do know If I worry 'what if' And think 'why me' Then I think this is The wrong situation Right guy Wrong time I guess I wonder... Here we go With the questions again I already know the answers Damn my always wandering mind And damn my wandering eyes I swear it was only A sheer show of habit That made me look at you That way I didn't mean it Really So, did you beleive that lie? I believed all yours Except now I know The truth Can almost hold it In my hand It burns... Funny, odd, strange The truth is supposed to Set you free So, why then has it Chained me up? Why has it bound me here? Again...with all the questions That the answers I already know If I have to ask you I suppose I must But just for the sake Of my undying curiosity... Do you love me? And the answer Shining in your eyes Out from behind the cloud That pain Yes You do You love me But, like I said I already knew that So, why then, lover Do you strive To hide it?
