Why was it so hard for me to look at you?

Was it ‘cause I loved you

So much that you made my heart go

Thump, thump, clathump, thump, thump?

Or maybe ‘cause I never thought

That you just might love me back.

 

Was it my lack of knowledge,

On the subject of love,

That let you fly away like a dove?

Or was it my lack of faith,

That could allow me to believe

 That you didn’t love me?

Maybe it was my shy personality

That kept me from talking with you?

 

Now that you are gone

It is hard for me to look at you.

While when you where near me

I couldn’t keep my eyes from yours.

So, why is it now so hard to look?

Could it be because it is hard for me to think

That you could ever have loved me?

Or maybe ‘cause I didn’t want to remember

Your face staring back at me?

Or the way my heart used to race

When you danced with me?

 

I cannot look at you

‘cause I’m so madly in love with you

And I’m afraid of the way I will feel

Once my gaze cannot find yours in the crowd.

But till that day comes I will search

And if I get the chance I will tell you my secret.
