What Do You Do?

What do you do,
When you love someone so much
It hurts when he's away,
And it hurts when he's nearby?
What do you do
When your mind says 'no'
To what your heart cannot deny?
What do you say
When the words seem meaningless
Because they don't come alive?
How do I say I love you
When I can't even love myself?
