Safe inside my little room
I'm too scared to tell of what I'd do for you
Grab a shield and fight against the grain
And hope you'll notice someday

I wait for you to see
With your eyes looking right at me
Maybe you'll find I am here
Wanting to start something with you

I'm silent when I'm near you
And when you smile at me I lose my breath
Hoping that you'll catch me when I'm not looking
As others try to tear you to shreds
I hope you see that I'll stand with you 'til the end
You're the one I want to be with when it's over

Trying hard to act like I'm not interested
But God knows that I'm making a facade
You probably won't understand if I told you face to face
How could you with the way that i proceed

But still I hope deep inside
You'll see the part I try to hide
'Cause I can't let my true self out

I'm silent when I'm near you
And when you smile at me I lose my breath
Hoping that you'll catch me when I'm not looking
As others try to tear you to shreds
I hope you see that I'll stand with you 'til the end
You're the one I want to be with when it's over

I'd call, but I wouldn't know just what to say
I'd tell you, but the words just are coming my way
All I have are actions I hope one day you'll see
And maybe you'll understand that you are the only one for me

But....
I'm silent when I'm near you
And when you smile at me I lose my breath
Hoping that you'll catch me when I'm not looking
As others try to tear you to shreds
I hope you see that I'll stand with you 'til the end
You're the one I want to be with when it's over
