Problem is that he couldn't say it. If he'd say it his wonderful master plan would have never worked, Rose would have come with him, that's for sure. I see it as giving himself up for her sake in that scene, which doesn't make it any less painful and even more frustrating! He was about to say it in Doomsday, and Alt!Ten did say it, so he's definitely not too alien for that.
