Lying in my bed at night
Listening to the radio
Wishing you were here with me
Not knowing where to go

Trying to forget about
The love I feel for you
Trying to forget about
The pain you put me through

Yes, I know, I hurt you too
I wish that you'd forget
It haunts me every time I sleep
It's something I regret

I might say that I need you
But, that, you don't want to know
I keep my feelings deep inside
Make sure they never show

I know you think I'm angry
But that is not the case
It's just hard for me to bring myself
To look into your face

If I let you see inside
You'd know just how I feel
My eyes would give it all away
My heart would be revealed

You'd see my dreams of far away
And things you've never known
You'd know everything about me
And my cover would be blown

So we'll leave it as you like it
Maybe soon you'll change your mind
But, 'til then, I'll love you silently
Pretend my heart is blind
