False Front

These thoughts aren't helping
this feeling hide
For I must keep it
in disguise.
It isn't safe out in the open
it's like a fish in our vast oceans.

too risky to expose
but I don't know what to do
I know that I can never
show my real feelings to you.

I have to be patient
and let this lust subside
but to be safe until then
I must force this rush to hide.

Bound in a box and
kept under many locks
never to take the slightest peek
I store these feelings very deep
inside my soul is where they lay
and that is where they'll always stay.

Because I know without a doubt
that this whole thing just wont work out.

Once again it's a one way street
and I dread the day that our eyes meet
cause you will know by the look in my eyes
that my feelings are no longer disguised.

You'll know right then just how I feel
and I will know that you're for real.
Real enough to be sincere
and let me know, loud and clear
in the nicest way that you can say
you couldn't love me any day
