I can not figure out why I do it
When I hide myself behind a mask
The way I feel about you inside
Am I in love? Well, you shouldn't even have to ask
When people ask if I adore you
My mind is never able to be silenced
Yet my words portray otherwise
When I would stand there, with my mouth quiet
You are just like the melody
Of a song that I know all of the notes
My heart is screaming out all the lyrics
But to sing them outloud, it's something that I could not promote
I sometimes find myself pondering
What would happen if I just let myself free
But I override my confidence with fear
And decide that maybe, it was never meant to be
And on goes the cycle again and again
Betraying myself to an internal jail
I just couldn't seem to escape my thoughts
If only I could hang up my feelings with a nail
The strangest thing about compassion
Is the fact that we hold all of these feelings back
We swallow the happiness that we can have
With the anxiety that we might have to repack
I have put my self under the impression
That maybe our love could work out
If you feel the same, then marry me
And I will never have another doubt
