I wish that I could tell you,
Exactly how I feel.
But I'm scared that if you break my heart,
It will never heal.
I wish that I could show you,
Just what you mean to me.
But I'm scared that you might hurt me,
So that will never be.
My fears are my disguise form you,
But my feelings for you are real.
If only I could speak the words,
To tell you how I feel.
I see you from a distance,
You smile and wave my way.
But if you only knew,
Just what I had to say.
Then would your smile disappear from your face,
And your hand return to your side?
Would you wish that I hadn't said anything?
Would you wish that I had just lied?
These are my fears,
I count them one by one.
My heart will not be broken,
So my feelings for you I will shun.
My fears are my disguise from you,
That is my only crime.
I wish that I didn't need one,
And maybe I won't... In time.
