I think I'm falling for you
simple as that.
There hasn't a day gone by
that I didn't wish you weren't holding me
and called me yours.

When I'm with you
everything feels right.
The world falls into place;
I can smile
and really mean it.

I'm aching for you inside
I wonder if you notice the way I look at you
or feel the same way I do.
You're one of a kind, boy
and you're absolutely perfect for me.

I would tell you everything--
the feelings I've bottled up inside.
I'd tell you my hopes and dreams--
the secrets I hold to myself,
that could never be exposed to the light of day.

But if I tell you,
you'd run away with it all
and give it to those around you,
they'll spread it like wildfire
expose it to where it doesn't belong.

And baby, I'm strong
but I can't trust anyone.
To give it to the one I think I could trust,
you'd crush my heart and I'd cry myself to sleep.
And I'll falter. And I'll *break.
