Stay Away or I May Loose the Key

Can life continue?
Can it go on?
If I never say to you
My feelings for you

But if you say no
Or worse
Take me and let go
I'll be shattered

I've felt it before
This bubbling feeling
The want of much more
More, more, more

But I am not pretty
I am not what you want
And though I daydream
Of you in my thoughts

I cannot tell you
What I hold close
I cannot tell you
What I want most

And all of my family
Is praising me for
Staying their baby
Staying from love

So for a long time
I kept it from me
Kept all these feelings
Locked with a key

But every so often
I found it to be
Impossible to keep
My eyes from wandering

Everytime that you spoke
I was convinced it was love
And everytime I blurred what was seen
And everytime I held on to my key

But even though I am trying
The box is to full
My feelings are brimming
I must look like a fool

And I know I'm a fool
A fool sick with a crush
Well, that's what I think
To conquer the rush

So I'll say it here
Instead of out there
I'll yell it to the heavens
Away from your stare
