[Intro] [Verse 1] I see you passing by, you’ve got that smile I drop my gaze, can’t speak for a while I rehearse some lines inside my head But face to you, I’m just a mute instead Feels like I don’t belong at all One word from me could ruin it all So I’d rather run than fall apart But every silence tears my heart [Chorus] And if I speak, will you just laugh at me? Will I lose you if I take one step, maybe? I don’t want to end up alone in the scene Dreaming of love when it’s already been And if it’s too late for us two I wonder if I’ll ever be happy… too [Verse 2] My friends all say, “You should just try” But they don’t know the weight of my mind I see myself as a father, but only in dreams In real life, it’s just the void that lifts me My parents are growing old so slow And I count the days as they come and go Not knowing if someday I’ll bring A love that’s true, forever kind of thing [Chorus] And if I speak, will you just laugh at me? Will I lose you if I take one step, maybe? I don’t want to end up alone in the scene Dreaming of love when it’s already been And if it’s too late for us two I wonder if I’ll ever be happy… too [Bridge – spoken or whispered] My heart is full of wants, my soul full of doubt And silence has taken the whole road out I’m here, dreaming of a “we” with no tomorrow Fighting my own armor, my borrowed sorrow [Final Chorus] And if I speak, will you just laugh at me? Will I lose you if I take one step, maybe? I don’t want to end up alone in the scene Dreaming of love when it’s already been And if it’s too late for us two Tell me… will I ever be happy too? Will I ever be… two? [Outro – piano only]
