Yet another day goes by, I haven't told you how I feel
Crying inside don't know how to deal with the fact
I can't get what I think inside outside to tell you where I'm at
I've never been that good with words, my tongue gets tied
Every time I try to tell you what is on my mind and in my heart
I wish I was not so shy and could find a way to start
If mine were the arms that held you close
If I were in the air that you breathe
That is all I would need
If I were the one to fill your life
I would never let you go
Oh how I wish I could let you know
Everybody tells me I should just tell you how I feel
Cause it doesn't really matter if it's not real, then I may as well find out sooner than later
So I can start to deal with a broken heart
Maybe I don't want to know the truth, because as long as I am in a lie
I can keep convincing myself that there is a chance
That you and I can get together for romance
If mine were the arms that held you close
If I were in the air that you breathe
That is all I would need
If I could be the one to fill your life
I would never let you go
Oh how I wish I could let you know
Oh how I wish I could let you know
I am too afraid to tell you how I feel, living in one long sigh
Afraid you would go away if my love were revealed, another day goes by
As long as I keep living in this fantasy, where the hero gets the girl
But this world isn't real you know, protection from rejection,
Safe inside a dream but I still wake up alone
As long as my heart keeps on pumping, your love is something I desire
I love you but my only dilemma is instead of expressing
I'm repressing the words I should say to you
If mine were the arms that held you close
If I were in the air that you breathe
That is all I would need
If I could be the one to fill your life
I would never let you go
Oh how I wish I could let you know
Oh how I wish I could let you know
I am too afraid to tell you how I feel, living in one long sigh
Afraid you would go away if my love were revealed, another day goes by
If mine were the arms that held you close
If I were in the air that you breathe
That is all I would need
If I were the one to fill your life
I would never let you go
Oh how I wish I could let you know
Oh how I wish I could let you know
Oh how I wish I could let you know
