To You

What to do 
When my heart begins to quiver 
And my eyes create a river 
Realizing it’s you

Where to look
When your face lingers my way
And your eyes trap my gaze
Knowing you read me like a book 

What to do 
When you turn away
Making it hard to say
The things I trapped that day

What to say 
When my hands begin to shake 
Not knowing how much more I can take 
If I walk your way 

Where to run
If your eyes are no longer mine
And I am no longer fine 
Remembering all the fun
 
Where to hide 
When my hands meet the floor
Behind a far away door
And you’re no long at my side
