~Can't Seem to Tell~


How does one describe

The beauty that I know

And how does one express

The feelings I long to show

Every time I see her

The feeling is the same

The love that I feel

Every time I hear her name

But how does she feel

Am I just another friend

Am I just like the others

A friendly heart to lend

When she needs to talk

Or a shoulder on which to cry

And of course I'll always be there

But I have to wonder why

I just can't go and tell her

The feelings that I've had

I guess that I'm afraid

Her reaction will be bad

What if she turns me down

Cause I'm a friend and nothing more

What if she doesn't feel the same

Then how could I ignore

The way she makes me feel

With every glance she aims at me

With each one of her smiles

Then how would it be

If I could no longer see her

In that joyous way

But then if I do tell her

What exactly should I say

If I told her that I loved her

Just how happy would she be

And I know that to tell her

Is the only way I'll see

But I can't seem to tell her

So I'll just sit and stare

At the one I love

And I'll leave her fully unaware

Of the feelings that I have

The ones I hide so well

Cause though I really want to

I just can't seem to tell.
