We didn't speak yesterday
And last night you didn't pass me your usual wishes
Sending sweet dreams at a normal hour of rest
Normally I would go about my routine just as I always do
Secure and unaffected by your absence

But last night was different
Instead of using distractions to ward off thoughts of doubt
I used them to stop myself from thinking about you
I was scared from the night before
When I assumed that I could speak to you

I guess I was wrong
No, from your response and wooden reactions, I know I was wrong
The love I have for you misled me
Let me believe that we, deep in love, are free
And free to talk about things unspoken

Please don't turn away
Don't let the fear get to you and the love be forgotten
Don't sacrifice us, because of what they might say
Baby, I'm sorry if my words put you in a difficult position
Stay with me, I need your hands to cover my mouth
