I wish I had the guts to tell you how I feel It's easy not to show it in gestures you can't see The longer I don't see you, your image's getting dim Used to be so vivid, now it seems so frail to me When I finally see you, you act like it's all fine But I think there is a shadow underneath your smile And if I try to tell you, I know that you'll get scared So I try to hold it in, for as long as it can wait As hours become days, and days grow into weeks The flame you've brought to life so slowly disappears The question that I never ask weighs heavy on my heart And you remain silent, for as long as we're apart I knew that there was something strange about you when we met The way you said you could not sleep I just can't forget I'm sure that at some point you'll try to let it go And my only hope is that you'll prove me wrong
