Producer: Cavetown

[Verse 1]
It wasn't always easy
Growing up we had our fights
Though we wouldn’t say it
We wanted to play nice
I can safely say we're friends
And that I love you too
But years ago that wouldn't happen
Because I didn’t get you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's complicated
And I need to say it
'Cause time is fading away
I should've said it sooner
Who knows what's in the future
But now I need you to know

[Chorus]
That I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
And I get it now
You weren't allowed
The same life
That you’ve so gracefully endowed
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I’m happy with it all now
We both had to grow and learn
To understand each other
And with patience we took turns
I'm sorry for my anger
I was just too young to know
The cause of your exterior
And just what you wouldn’t show

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's complicated
And I need to say it
'Cause time is fading away
I should've said it sooner
Who knows what’s in the future
But now I need you to know

[Chorus]
That I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
And I get it now
You weren't allowed
The same life
That you've so gracefully endowed

[Bridge]
Oh, I love you
You love me too
Unspoken words are preferred
But it's the truth
I'll shift the tide
Leave windows wide
We are the start, our change of heart
Will be our guide

[Chorus]
Oh, I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do

[Outro]
I do
I know you do

​mxmtoon

mxmtoon (pronounced em-ex-em-toon) is the moniker of Maia (born July 9, 2000), an Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and ukulele player. mxmtoon has a considerable online following, amounting to the hundreds of thousands, and successfully links conceptually relatable songs with goofy, self-deprecating music videos, of which evoke emotions across the gamut—everything from belly-laughing to weeping. She carries a persona that can be described as passionate, genuine, and warm; a friend who can be relied on through even the most emotionally challenging of times.

mxmtoon covers a wide range of conceptual themes in her music; such themes include matters regarding friendship, romance, body confidence, identity and teenage insecurities. She often uses a ukulele for accompaniment and has a distinctly unique musical sound characterized by elements of indie and bedroom pop, as well as slightly laconic lyrical delivery and sometimes unconventional melodic constructs. This style shined all throughout her debut EP plum blossom, which was recorded from the confines of her parents' guest room, and was released on December 7, 2018.

Nine months later, the Cavetown produced effort that was her debut full-length album the masquerade was released in September 17, 2019, followed by dawn and dusk in April 22, 2020 and October 1, 2020 respectively, with the latter two later being integrated into dawn & dusk, which was released on November 5, 2020.
