I'm not sure why I cry

It wasn't mutual in the beginning

I wouldn't be a priority 

And I knew that from the start

But it's okay, because 

I like when you say nice things

It's okay to be what I am

I know it won't take long to forget

But then I reread the words you wrote

And I feel stuck again, all because 

I like when you say nice things

When you called me beautiful and confident 

When you said you didn't want to hold me back

When you said you promise

It doesn't matter that it hurt, because

I like when you say nice things
