Shy

(Lyrics by Sonata Arctica)

I can see how you are beautiful 

No denying anymore. I can't deny it. I will never ever be able to deny it. You are beautiful, though you don't want to be. I see your beauty. I see it in you.

That hair. That face. No...

can you feel my eyes on you, 

I am looking at you... do you see? Do you see me? Do you WANT to see me?

Don't look here. Don't detect me...

 I'm shy and turn my head away 

Blushing. Looking away. Fate's cruel.

I can't stand it. I can't approach. But I can't leave either. I can't look on...


 Make sure that you can't see me, hoping you will see me 

I am hidden. Oh, find me, please find me...

Never I will be seen. Look closer... Look here, I am right here...

 Sometimes I'm wondering why you look at me and you blink your eye 

Why does he keep on watching me? Why do you look that way?

Her gaze caught mine. Why does she not stop looking? What's that asking expression?


 I see reflections of me in your eye, oh please 

All I see it's me... in his face... it's me...

Two mirrors... showing me what I am... What i might lose...

 Talk to me, show some pity 

Come over... release me from that agony, please... give me just one word...

Say anything... have mercy...


 You touch me in many, many ways 

I love you... I need you... I want you...

Feelings... forbidden... never expirienced... Yet there...


 But I'm shy can't you see 

I can never tell.

She will never know.

 Obsessed by you, your looks, well, anyway 

Looking for your face, anywhere I go...

That hair. That face... It's addicting.

"I would any day die for you", 

Can I help you in death?

And I am close to that...


 I write on paper erased away 

Dieing is no way... For neither of us. Never.

But I don't want to die. I would miss you. I won't die.


 Turn my head and I can see you, could that really be you 

There he is... Has he seen me? Is that really him? I'm going insane...

Caught a glimpse of her. What is she doing here? Is it you I am seeing?

 Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and you blink your eye 

He looks at me. So unbelieving...

Her face turned to mine. That expression in her eyes... What does it mean?


 I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run away from 

He smiles. At me. I have to leave. Instantly. I can't, so I just smile back.

That smile would drive anyone insane. Go or it will get worse... I have to stay... Can't leave just now...


 Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please 

Me.

My face.

 Talk to me, show some pity 

Say something. Come on. Just anything. I want to hear your voice... Mercy...

Why are you silent? Why...

You touch me in many, many ways 

I want to scream every feeling at you... everything that i am seeing in you. Every single thing...

So near it hurts again. So far away it hurts more. Leave me alone. No, come to me. And never leave. Never again...


 But I'm shy can't you see 

I can't tell. I do not dare.

I would lose myself. I can't. Not now, not ever.

 I see, can't have you, can't leave you, there 'cause I must sometimes see you 

Not able to touch you, to give you all I could give. Not able to stay, not able to leave. Looks have to be sufficient. Don't take that away from me, oh please...

Never you will belong to me. But I can watch you, see you, dream of you. Stay... Don't run from me... I need you as much as you hurt me..


 And I don't understand how you can keep me in chains 

Why can he do this to me? How could this have happened? I can't come free... Never...

What is it that trapped me? Why can't I break free?


 And every waking hour, I feel you taking power From me and I can't leave 

He's exhausting me. Dearly...

Losing might... Losing myself... Losing everything...


 Repeating the scenery over again 

Seeing him everywhere, anytime..

She is all around me...

 Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and you blink your eye 

And he is still looking at me... What is he seeing there?

Why don't you take your gaze away?


 I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run away from 

There again... That smile... I can't help...

Stop smiling... Stop it here... I can't stand...


 Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please 

...seeing me in you...

...seeing me in you...

 Talk to me, show some pity 

Tell me, what you think... tell it to me... I want to know...

What are you thinking? I wish you would tell...


 You touch me in many, many ways 

I have feelings for you...

You are changing me...


 But I'm shy can't you see, 

...but I can never tell.

...but I can't show.

 Oh baby, Talk to me, show some pity 

Tell me you feel the same...

Tell me that you love me...


 You touch me in many, many ways 

...as I do...

...for that is what I am feeling...


 But I'm shy can't you, I'm shy can't you, I'm shy can't you see 

But I can never tell...

But I can never tell...
