Why Can’t You Tell Me That You Love Me?

Why Can’t You Tell Me That You Love Me?

Audio preview of the written arrangement:

As performed by the composer

I don’t like to have lots of complications
I’d rather have things be black or white
with so many things many shades of gray
do we know what’s wrong or right?
Are some things just wrong or right?

And in terms of our intimate relations
yeah I’m talkin’ ’bout you and me
I have confessed many many times
all you mean to me

So why can’t you tell me that you love me?
Why can’t you say those simple words?
Why can’t you look me in the eyes
and say to me what I tell you all the time?

Why can’t you tell me that you love me?
Why can’t you say those simple words?
I want to know you’re forever near me
the way it should be
you’ll never leave me

I don’t like lots of complications
I’d rather have things be black or white
I want to say I’ll handle anything
if I have your love
how I need your love

So why can’t you tell me that you love me?
Why can’t you say those simple words?
Why can’t you look me in the eyes
and say to me what I tell you all the time
say to me you’ll want me all your life
say to me you really
really love me
