If you listen hard you will see this silent secret taking shape crawling up my body But it's locked in a box hiding for keeping safe afraid of what it might scream out if it came out to play
I love you but not out loud today I love you but not out loud today
When you look at me I feel caught and catching Hoping your lips are turning ‘round the room towards mine The hint of chemistry there mischievously begging a dare If I knew better I’d put you out of my head But I know nothing and feel everything instead
I love you but not out loud today I love you but not out loud today
This morning I woke to your breath grazing my ear Wrapping myself in the brief belief that you were laying here In the hazy warmth of dawn I brace myself for winter’s blow As I land the leap out of fantasy and go on my way alone
I love you but not out loud today I love you but not out loud today
