I can only afford glances Swift and riskless You can't see me And you can't know Each detail of you Means more to me Than you will ever understand But I won't tell you Am I a coward, for Knowing my limits Knowing we would never work Knowing you'll never love me I try to turn away But I can't You're too close You're too far away With a turn of your head You catch me I'm frozen as you smile A confused smile Do you think me psychopathic Your smile is dramatic And slightly empathetic Do you already know I'll promise myself to keep away But you're magnetic If only you loved me If only you loved me

Glances at 'him'
I can only afford glances Swift and riskless You can't see me And you can't know Each detail of you Means more to me Than you will ever understand But I won't tell you Am I a coward, for Knowing my limits Knowing we would never work Knowing you'll never love me I try to turn away But I can't You're too close You're too far away With a turn of your head You catch me I'm frozen as you smile A confused smile Do you think me psychopathic Your smile is dramatic And slightly empathetic Do you already know I'll promise myself to keep away But you're magnetic If only you loved me If only you loved me
