I Wouldn't (about a girl who's too scared to speak up)

 was sitting

nervous and scared,

he had a faraway look in his eyes,

but i still had hope,

he started talking,

all my doubts melted away,

as i listened to him,

i was thinking what i needed to say,

our time ran out,

and i vowed tomorrow i would,

knowing deep inside me, 

i wouldn't,

 

Tomorrow came,

then came another day after,

day after day he talked,

but he still had that look,

i still had hope,

but i knew i wouldn't,

i still want to,

still wish i did

but i was too scared,

i would tell myself

he didn't care

as i locked myself in my room,

wondering why he didn't,

because i know i wouldn't

if i were in his place
