Once bitten, twice shy


how do i...

say I like you - when i don't even know you.

say I'm not sure about you - when I've known you for so long.

say that girl will give you diseases - without hurting your feelings.

say you have no brain cells - when it comes to that guy.

say I'd rather not spend any time with you - when you're so eager to hang

say I want you to say what you mean - when you're just trying to be kind

say you're a little selfish - when I know I don't really mind

say come back, I miss you - when I know you have no interest in that

say pick me and expect you to - when I know no one else would

say I'm exactly like you - without making you feel small

say we had the same experience with the same man - without seeming like I want to
form a girl band

say I want to have your children - without needing money or a ring or a fancy
proposal

say that the love of your life loves me - without seeming like I betrayed you
because I didn't

say that you are breaking my heart with what you do to yourself - without seeming
like your parent or the party pooper

say that I wish you'd try with me - without reaffirming that you're out of my league

say politely that i'm out of your league - without seeming like a complete snob

say that I can't stand how racist you are - without seeming like an Uncle Tom or a
coconut

say I love that song - without some judgement or opinion following

say that I don't want to drink or smoke tonight - without confirming there's a conservative stick up my rear end

say that I'm so angry with how weak and pathetic you are - without it seeming like I don't respect you, because I do.

say I need you to do something for me - without seeming like I'm using you

say I'm really hurting and really alone - without seeming needy and emotional

Truths.
