Better Left Unsaid.

For the longest time, I never told you how I felt about you
All I wanted was for you to look in my eyes and see that my heart was true
It took me a long time to build up the courage to say something
I wish I hadn't as you broke my heart and left me with nothing

Some things are better left unsaid and I should have loved you from afar
Ignorance would have been bliss and I could have left things as they are
Maybe I should have told you, maybe I should have just kept quiet
I couldn't bear you not knowing but now my body wants a riot

You looked at me dead in the eye as I expressed my feelings
You told me "you didn't know what you wanted" and it left me reeling
I told you that it was ok and I understood
That night I went home and cried under my hood

I still see you now and I get those famous butterflies
It's worse now because they feel like fireflies
They pull at my heart strings every time I look at you
I pray for the day you make up your mind so my dreams can become true

I keep my phone on loud and wait for that special tone
Each night passes and I continue to feel more alone
The phone will never buzz because you don't feel the same
All I want is the phone to go off highlighting your name

I'm not a religious man but for the first time I prayed to God
I asked him if he would provide a light throughout this endless fog
As suspected I was talking to a mystical made up figure
My wish isn't coming true and he failed to deliver

All I've ever asked is this one simple wish
But you can't make someone love you; try fixing a broken dish
Although it hurts me every day, I'll keep my door open
If I made you mine, I promise we'll never be broken
