I told you time and time again

that we would meet just as friends

and now i just can't seem to get my story through

if i'd known all about this then

i wouldn't have said the things I said

im left now with a problem

what to do 



cuz i can't seem to tell her

exactly the way i feel

i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real



and if she calls me on the phone

wont you tell her im not home

just say ive gone so very far away

if she asks when ill return

tell her that you have not learned

and that i might have plans to stay



cuz i can't seem to tell her

exactly the way i feel i

can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real

i can't seem to tell her

exactly the way i feel

i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real



here she comes again

this time surrounded by her friends

do i pretend that i dont see her or say hi

she asks me if im free

i said i would if it was up to me

and pray she sees the truth behind my lie



cuz i can't seem to tell her

exactly the way i feel

i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real

i can't seem to tell her

exactly the way i feel

i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
