lyrics

I wish I had the courage
to express these feelings inside
For in the shadow of my lonely heart
is where they like to hide

But before you here I am
and I hope you understand
this internal war
of pride and infatuation
blurring my concentration
like never before

But if fear of rejection were out of the question
I would tell you how your smile makes my day
and that my soul aches with longing
every time that you are away

I remember when I first saw you
it wasn’t that long ago
your style caught my eye, as you walked on by
but I didn’t know

That the need for affection
would change my life’s whole direction

But before you here I am
and I hope you understand
this internal war
of pride and infatuation
blurring my concentration
like never before

But if fear of rejection were out of the question
I would tell you how your smile makes my day
and that my soul aches with longing
every time that you are away

You’re so beautiful
and I hope you know
that it scares me so

But you make me lose control
and feel emotional
it’s my heart you stole

The funny thing is
you’ve no idea
‘cause I didn’t give you any reason to suspect
But when it comes to loving you
I have my heart to protect

But if the fear of rejection were out of the question
I would tell you how your smile makes my day
and that my soul aches with longing
every time that you are away

But I don’t have the courage
to look you in the eye
and tell you how I feel inside
