All the things I meant to say
The feelings I tried to give away
Held them in, too long, afraid
Would you want them or push me away?
I told myself, just speak my mind
But when I see you, I fall behind
Those words stay stuck inside my heart
Too scared you'll fall apart
Even standing by your side
I can't say what I feel inside
Through sleepless nights, I try and try
But the words, they pass me by
I think of you before my fear
And so, the words just disappear
What would you think, what would you do?
Would it change how you see me too?
I hesitate, then let it go
Another night, you’ll never know
I told myself, be brave and true
But I lose my voice in front of you
The words stay trapped behind my eyes
Buried deep beneath goodbyes
Even standing by your side
I can't say what I feel inside
Through sleepless nights, I try and try
But the words, they pass me by
I think of you before my fear
And so, the words just disappear
If I could find a way to speak
Would you listen? Would you see me?
But silence wraps around my heart
And keeps us oceans far apart
Even when you're next to me
These feelings never set me free
And though I long to let them fly
The words just wave and pass me by
I think of you before my fear
So I hold back what you should hear
