To Scared To Speak
I'm bound by these shackles
of your leave that won't leave.
You moved on back then
but my heart, it won't grieve.
Instead it denies truth
and swears that you'll be back.
I've tried so hard to fight,
strength of will I will always lack.
I'm so in love with you
like there has never been love before.
These goals, these hopes, these dreams
mean nothing without you anymore.
Even though unrequited
these feelings may never cease.
They'll never make it past my lips,
though they day by day increase.
So I'll listen to all your problems,
And then you'll listen to mine.
I'll still pretend you're just a friend,
And tell you that I'm 'fine'.
