Secret Love
By: Jamie Redlawsk
People always told me, time and time again
To be satisfied with what I had, to just be liked as a friend
But all these years Iâ??ve waited, keeping my head down
And itâ??s lessening my chances of ever being found
Iâ??ve silently watched you take others, into your firm embrace
And within my heart broke silently and my tears let out disgrace
Those days I would go home and wonder â??why not me?â??
I needed to get it off my chest and let you finally see
Secret loveâ??s not worth all that, I canâ??t hide it anymore
For that little flame inside me is starting to burn my core
My heart is going to break apart if I donâ??t tell you soon
All this love is like too much air inside a small balloon
So, the only question I have now is what youâ??ll think of me
After I admit myself I know that Iâ??ll be free
But will you shy away and leave me standing cold?
Or will you let me still be your friend and share your heart of gold?
Will you be mad, or hurt deep down inside,
That I hadnâ??t told you before, that I had been so shy?
Or will you be excited and allow it all to show?
Will you let me love you and help our love grow?
I guess Iâ??ll know soon enough, I have to let it out
I just hope you will take it in and brush away the doubt
And maybe itâ??s supposed to be like this, so complicated and barred
But maybe thatâ??s why I love you so, â??cus baby, I fell hard
