For some reason you never knew
How close I stood beside you
So near in the same quiet room
Yet somehow far from view
All I could do was watch your face
As time kept passing by
A heart that quietly dreams of you
But hides the reasons why
The closer that I stand to you
The more my heart begins to shake
If you could see inside of me
Would you understand this ache?
Because you told me to wait
So I remain
Holding these words inside
Because you told me to wait
Through hope and pain
I stay here by your side
If you only knew my heart
Would you turn away from me?
Or would you finally see
Sometimes I want to ask you
Just one simple thing
Do you dislike someone like me?
Or is there hope unseen?
I wish to hear your voice again
Like yesterday before
I wish to see the same bright smile
That made my spirit soar
And if tomorrow everything
Suddenly should change
I'll still be standing here for you
Waiting just the same
Because you told me to wait
So I remain
Holding these words inside
Because you told me to wait
Through hope and pain
I stay here by your side
If you only knew my heart
Would you finally see?
The love inside of me
Even if this dream
Never becomes real
I just want you to know
The way I truly feel
If someday you turn around
And look into my eyes
Maybe you'll see the love
I could never hide
Because you told me to wait
So I remain
Standing in the same place
Because you told me to wait
I keep the faith
Even through time and space
If you only knew my heart
If you could only see
I'd tell you quietly
I love you
