i wish
i could tell you

                                         i wish
                                         i could hold you

i wish
i could kiss you

                                         i wish
                                         i could love you


                           openly

i have too many emotions
that can never be put into words

your name is a silent word on my lips
because i'll never call you
after all the times i've lived
through the same thing before you

your name is the softest thing
that i have ever heard
oh, how i wish it wouldn't
make my heart hurt
