Set things up so I'd know when you were there
Then dozed off, reading a book, with out a care
Woke up in a sweat - instantaneous regret
Your name left the screen right as I got there

Live every day just so I can talk to you
It's sad, yet I know that you don't have a clue
You think I'm just a friend - Well hell I can pretend
That I don't care anymore than you do

You can't relinquish love
It's impossible to do
You can't squelch the flames
Burning furiously inside you
Tried to make it go away
Sometimes it gets led astray
But somehow it always returns anew

Met by chance, oh it seems so long ago
Why things happened like they did, I'll never know
But I don't really care - All that matters is you're there
I love you, why can't I just let it show?

So here I sit, hope that you will talk to me
What I feel is wrong, why can't I just let it be?
No longer can I hide - All I'm feeling inside
I'll tell you, maybe then I will be free
