You asked me if I loved you,
I didn't know what to say.
If I said yes, what would you have done?
Would you be mine today?

I didn't want to tell you,
Didn't want to reveal,
All that's there inside my heart,
All the truths that I feel.

I had been too afraid,
Too cautious, to let you know
Just exactly what I felt,
Why I couldn't let you go.

But my mind wouldn't allow me,
To say my heart's desire,
To tell the boy I cared for,
How he set my heart on fire.

Had I really answered you,
Had I really told you then,
Just how much I loved you.
Would I have been more than just a friend?

But all the things that "Could've been,"
I guess I'll never know,
Because quite some time has passed now,
And you've learned to let me go.
