You’ve made your confession, but I don’t know how to deal with that
Your love is one that can’t be returned
To me the meaning of love has gone flat

We no longer hang out, we no longer chat
Our friendship and trust now must be re-earned
You’ve made your confession, but I don’t know how to deal with that

I said some mean things, so you think I’m a brat
But to me your words made me feel burned
To me the meaning of love has gone flat

Your slightly cruel jokes I can no longer laugh at
The deeper meaning of your words I think I have learned
You’ve made your confession, but I don’t know how to deal with that

The words of endearment now have to be spat
The tables of life have already turned
To me the meaning of love has gone flat

This new way of life we will have to work at
The things you say have me concerned
You’ve made your confession, but I don’t know how to deal with that
To me the meaning of love has gone flat

Washington Irving once said &ldquo;There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love.&rdquo;

It's awesome, and I hate to admit that this once applied to me, but as one that is currently in a very strong relationship, it's every girl's worst fear. Good job regardless.
