I Wish I Could Give Up

I wish I could tell you
That the way you look at me doesn't bother me

I wish I could tell you
That being near you doesn't tear me apart

I wish I could tell you
That I was happy for you

But that would simply be
Exchanging a lie or a lie

I wish I knew what
The way you look at me means

Is it real?
Is it fake?

Is it just you trying to convince
Anyone that might be watching

As well as yourself
That you hate me

Or is it you conveying
That you truly wish I would give up

Because that would make everything
So much easier for you

Because you wouldn't have
Anything to feel guilty about

You wouldn't have
A void to fill

If I would just give up
If I would just stop loving you
