I feel like I’m letting my true life slip away
Because every time we’re together
It seems that I have finally found my place in the world
My heart is at ease, my soul is at peace
I can truly be myself and let my heart beat
Most days I live in a cold gray haze
Surrounded by trappings that seem to be right
Whispers in my mind try to make me feel at home
But at the corner of my eye I see things differently
A double exposure sits over top of what’s there
Trying to disguise the thing I am truly looking for
Hiding the life I’ve always dream of with you
I have so many questions to ask you
But every time we talk they never come out
I don’t even need to see your face
It’s just your voice or maybe only that it's you
And a part of me can’t believe that I’m talking to you
I should be over this by now
We’ve both grown older, grown wiser
But the thought of being with you shuts my mind down
My courage to ask you things flees
All the words I’ve planned out in my head
Disappear like snow on a warm day
Melting away before my tongue can speak them
I have so many things I want to say
I want to tell you how you make me feel
How the simplest thing you say brightens my day
I would like to tell you how much I love you
Even if I can’t see you when I want to
Could I say how I miss you, even before you leave me
Would you be surprised to hear me say
Just how much of my day I spend thinking of you
If I could just let you know how much I want you
If I could tell you how much I need you near me
If I could lift these words from this paper for you to see
Maybe you could find a way to tell me you feel the same
