Borderline

I'm so close to crying,
But I can't tell you why.
I'm not sure you'd get it,
So I don't even try.
I'd like for you to know,
I don't like how I behave.
It's really not on purpose.
I really hope you'll stay.

I don't really mean any
Of those nasty things I say,
It's only because I fear,
you'll leave me some day.
I'm tired of being hurt.
I feel like I'm low on love,
And I don't want to stay,
forever a mourning dove.

I'm in need of someone,
Who'd scare away my fears.
And someone who could
Wipe away my tears.
I don't know myself,
And I guess that's why,
I need you so much, and
It hurts to say goodbye.
