[Instrumental] [Male voice [Verse] Can’t stop these feeling, when I’m by you, Your so kind, and gentle, in all you do. I feel I’m not, the man you’ve earned, A faithful heart, but much to learn. Pre-chorus] I can’t pretend, that I don’t care, When you’re near, I stop to stare. [Chorus] Why, as a friend, always by your side, I keep my heart, locked inside. Afraid a whisper, would stop the ride, When it’s me, you always call, --- late at night. [Verse 2] I'm secretly in love, but you’re t not, with me. Why is it so hard, not simple or free, Like carvin' our initials, in that old tree. If you would just stop, then look to see. Look at me, and together find, --- what we could be. (See me as a man, see me as your man.) [Short piano Instrumental] [Pre-chorus] I can’t pretend, that I don’t care, When you’re near, I stop to stare. [Chorus] Why, as a friend, by your side, I keep my heart, locked inside. Afraid a whisper, would stop the ride, When it’s me, you always call, --- late at night. [Bridge] Today, she viewed me different, I felt our bond, shifting in time. As now, all our years of friendship, Led me into her arms and her, in mine. [Outro] From a man, in the shadows of the past, Startin' as friends, but now, lovers at last, The best love story, hiding in the past. (A true love story, hidin' in the past.)
