[Verse 1]
They say that words are easy, they say that talk is cheap
But every single promise that I made, I keep
You might not believe me, you might turn away
But I’m gonna tell you what I need to say
I’m not playing games, I’m not fooling around
This is not a story, this is not a sound
This is how I feel, deep inside my heart
I loved you from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna lie, I don’t wanna fake
This is the decision, this is the choice I make
No more "maybe", no more "if"
This is real, this is true
[Chorus]
When I say I love you... I mean it
Every single word... I mean it
Even if we’re broken, even if we’re through
My heart is still beating only for you
When I say I need you... I mean it
I’m not gonna leave you... I mean it
I don’t care what happened, I don’t care what’s said
I love you more than anything in my head
I mean it...
I really mean it...
[Verse 2]
Depression tried to take me, confusion tried to break
But nothing ever changes how much love I make
I know I made mistakes, I know I let you down
But my feelings for you never hit the ground
They grew up like a tree, they grew up strong and tall
You are the greatest thing, you are my all
I’m laying it on the line, I’m showing you my soul
I’m never letting go
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna lie, I don’t wanna fake
This is the decision, this is the choice I make
No more "maybe", no more "if"
This is real, this is true
[Chorus]
When I say I love you... I mean it
Every single word... I mean it
Even if we’re broken, even if we’re through
My heart is still beating only for you
When I say I need you... I mean it
I’m not gonna leave you... I mean it
I don’t care what happened, I don’t care what’s said
I love you more than anything in my head
I mean it...
I really mean it...
[Bridge]
(Music builds up / Emotional ad-libs)
Look me in the eye...
Can’t you see the truth?
I would never lie...
Especially to you...
It’s not just emotion...
It’s dedication...
It’s my heart...
My soul...
My everything...
[Chorus]
When I say I love you... I mean it
Every single word... I mean it
Even if we’re broken, even if we’re through
My heart is still beating only for you
When I say I need you... I mean it
I’m not gonna leave you... I mean it
I don’t care what happened, I don’t care what’s said
I love you more than anything in my head
I mean it...
I really mean it...
[Outro]
I mean it...
Yeah...
I mean it...
From the bottom of my heart...
I mean it...
