To Tell You

Verse One:

You could stand before me perfect in every way,

Not even knowing how I feel about you today.

You could smile and break my heart to pieces,

And make me yearn for all your kisses.

Your words could bring a smile to my face,

And make my heart beat at a fast pace.

Your sorrow makes me cry everyday for you,

But I won't let you know if my feelings are true.

Chorus:

If I admitted my feelings, there'd be pain,

When I spoke the truth, there'd be nothing to gain.

If I tried to tell you, there'd be nothing here,

When I tried to show you, you'd disappear.

To tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

To tell you my heart, my feelings aren't new.

To tell you in tears, I'd cry a lifetime,

To tell you I love you would be a crime.

So for now I'll cry…

Verse Two:

You could say I'm funny, and we laugh together,

Not knowing your joy makes me feel like a feather.

You could say the day was fun, and we'd reminisce,

And you wouldn't know, time with you is my bliss.

Your kindness could bring a smile to my face,

And I'd know that I'm in the right place.

Your depression makes me cry everyday for you,

But I won't tell you how it makes me sad too.

Chorus:

If I admitted my feelings, there'd be pain,

When I spoke the truth, there'd be nothing to gain.

If I tried to tell you, there'd be nothing here,

When I tried to show you, you'd disappear.

To tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

To tell you my heart, my feelings aren't new.

To tell you in tears, I'd cry a lifetime,

To tell you I love you would be a crime.

So for now I'll cry…

Bridge:

I'll cry for you,

(I'll cry…)

I'll cry for us,

(I'll cry…)

We'd never be,

(I'd cry…)

You can't see,

(I'd cry…)

When I laugh, it's for you.

When I cry, I cry for you!

When I smile, it's because of you,

When I grimace my feelings are true!

To tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

To tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

To tell you the truth, you'd be perfect for me too-

Chorus:

If I admitted my feelings, there'd be pain,

When I spoke the truth, there'd be nothing to gain.

If I tried to tell you, there'd be nothing here,

When I tried to show you, you'd disappear.

To tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

To tell you my heart, my feelings aren't new.

To tell you in tears, I'd cry a lifetime,

To tell you I love you would be a crime.

So for now I'll cry…

Verse Three (Ending):

You could lie and say, you don't feel a thing,

Not knowing how much it hurts that you broke my wing.

You could turn around and walk away from me,

And I'd cry, fall apart, and beg and plea.

Your anger could spark hope in my heart,

And I'd pray for you to go back to the start.

Your joy in walking away from me will hurt,

But I would never put your name in dirt.

So for now I'll cry on bended knee,

Thinking of you and never flee.

And you can run away from what's true,

But to tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

To tell you the truth, I'm falling for you.

So for now I'll cry…
