too many kites and our strings got crossed

you touched my hand and my heart got lost

if you've been watching the things I do

you might have noticed that I loved you

but as it happened you never knew

I hid pictures of you in my room



there by your bedside all winter long

clutching my heart wishing she was gone

if you'd have woken you might not see

that all I wanted was you for me

so I just quietly left you be

sending kisses to you in your sleep



is it crazy to think that

maybe you wanted me to stay

and just forgot to say



if you've been listening to what I say

you might not love me now anyway

but in ten years I'll still feel the same

'cause I heard that these kind of things stay
