I Just Want to Say...

You know, almost every day
I watch you from far away
And my heart begins to soar
It threatens to jump right out and fly away.

And when our eyes happen to meet
I can not help but look away
This is not like me at all
Tell me, do I always seem this shy to you?

It's been so long now, I should not feel this way
I barely know you, though my heart will not obey
I feel so confused, I don't think I can say this is love
Is this love?
But when I see you, my heart skips a few beats
And suddenly, it becomes much harder to breathe
This is not healthy, I need to get away before my heart stops

It's always the same thing, it just never seems to end
I avoid you as best I can, but then I come to you again
My head is spinning in circles, I don't know what I should do
I just need to get away from this, get far away from you.

You know, I've never felt this way
I've had small attractions before
But now they all seem so dull
Compared to how I feel when I think of you

Now my heart quickens its pace
Whenever I glimpse at your face
Do you even know that I exist?
Judging by that blank expression, I guess you don't

So many years now, why do I still feel this way?
I still don't know you, my heart still won't obey
The confusion grows, I still don't think I can say this is love
Is this love?
It's getting worse with every moment I see you
I do not think I can take this much longer
This is not healthy, I need to get away before my heart stops

Every day is such a trial, I just cannot stay away
Avoidance is impossible, somehow life always finds a way
Everywhere I look, it's hard not to see you there
Why can't I get away from all of this, get far away from you?

Something inside of me is protesting my reluctance
It longs for you deeply, I can not hide it anymore
Even so, I don't think that I have the courage to say
My true feelings for you, at least not until a far off day

Now my time is running out, I am losing my chance
I was too scared to try, and now you're leaving me behind
I don't want you to go, but what can I possibly do?
I just want you to know that I'll always love you

End
