Words I couldn't say

In a book in the closet
On the front page inside
Is my first picture of you
With me at your side

Right at the tip of my fingers
Right at the tip of my tongue
Were the words of the truth
Balanced on my lips the hung

I saw that you were there
And I felt like a ghost
Your eyes stared into me
I have never been so close

I trembled and panicked
I wanted to tell what was true
I could hear my own heart
I spoke...but lied to you

I swore in your eyes was dread
You turned and waved goodbye
And with a smile you left
My mouth and heart went dry

Now between our friendship
Things will never be the same
I loved you...but couldn't say it
I am the one to blame

What I should have said
Wouldn't pass my lips
So I just held back
And now we come to this...

What do I do now?
I know that its my fault
I wanted to tell you...
But the words came to a halt

I have no backup plan
There is no second chance
Because of my fears
I lost my hand to dance

I should have told you
On how I really felt
Now I regret with myself
And it made my heart melt

I knew what I had to do
But all I can hear today
Is the silence that remains
On the words I couldn't say
