"Tell"

You walk into the room
Time stands still
You leave me staring
Unsure how to feel

I wish I could show you
I wish I could tell you
How you make my inside fall

I wish I could show you
I wish I could tell you
How my mind seems to stall

I stand all in the room alone
Waiting and wanting your glance
And when you never show
My heart stops and waits
It waits for my next chance
To say and do all that I feel
But then you come through that door
And I stand there silent frozen to my core
It's not fear of rejection
It's not an act of hate
It's not a lack of words
That put me into this state
It's the knowledge of
What can never be
That keeps you so far
Far away from me
One day I will crack and I will tell
Then you will see what kept me in this hell
When that day arrives I only hope I see
In your eyes those things that are stinging me

I wish I could show you
I wish I could tell you
