Oh, it’s so obvious to everyone but you

I’ve got it bad for you, baby, if you want the truth

Even your girlfriend knows but it’s nothing she can prove

And so you call me up when she gets unsure

You talk a big game, honey, but it’s all just words

You’re never gonna leave her, no matter how it hurts

And there are things that I can’t say out loud

Words catching in my throat, won’t let them out

But then you’re looking at me, and lord, help me now

I almost say I love you, so I shut my mouth

So we go out alone and it’s so unfair

You’ve got your hands on my heart but you don’t know or care

And the truth is on my tongue but the moment’s just not there

Well, it’s getting late and you leave too soon

I’ve got to find another way to get my message through

So, this is not the best love song, boy, but it’ll have to do

Cause there are things that I can’t say out loud

Words catching in my throat, won’t let them out

But then you’re looking at me, and lord, help me now

I almost say I love you, so I shut my mouth

Your car roars down the street and I

Am left alone with myself tonight

I go to bed, switch off the lights

And dream about the green in your eyes

And well, fate is cruel, our timing’s always off

This whole year, and you know I just can’t stop

Pulling petals, cause the last one’s caught

Somewhere between I love you and you love me not
