If someone said,
“I love you,”
would you think it true

that “someone”
is the one who’s standing
next to you?

Someone there
without a sound.
Just like a shadow
on the ground.

Is scared you’ll
hear his heart break
as smiles at you.

How can he
bear to see you again

without letting
you know the truth,
but then

These feelings
trapped inside him

They foolishly
still hide him

from the fact that
he will never know
if love’s a lie.

To share your air,
to feel your
beating heart

Is the reason
he breathes.
Why he needs
a new start.

He’ll stand by you
forever and loves you…

But you’ll never
know the cry
beneath his smile.

For far too long
someone has held
it all inside

While playing the
part of friend and
all that it implies.

But the things
he needs to say

Are more than
a friend would
dare convey

But feelings
unexpressed
leave pain that
won’t subside.

Someone wants
to surrender to you.

In hopes that you will say,
“I love you, too.”

But more than
words a notion

you share in
his emotion.

If you held him
in your arms the answer
would be known.

To be the one you
run to in the night

when you’re
feeling afraid.
When you
turn out the light.

He’ll scream it to
the world or whisper
right beside you,

“You’ll never be alone.”

Don’t you know
how desperately
I love you so?

If you do, then
how can you just
let it go?

Anybody but a fool
wouldn’t know.

How can I bear to
see you again

without letting
you know the truth,
but then

These feelings
trapped inside me

They foolishly
still hide me

from the fact that
I will never know
if love’s a lie.

To share your air,
to feel your
beating heart

Is the reason I breathe.
Why I need a new start!

I'll stand
with you forever.

I love you but you’ll
never know the cry
beneath my smile.
