Couldn’t Believe

Suddenly, you were so real
A simple smile, and all I could feel
Was the pulse of my heart falling for you.
In your eyes, time it stood still
I realized, swallowing hard
As I turned from a moment that could never be true.
I couldn’t believe that it would show
I couldn’t believe that you would know

Looking back, did I hear a sigh?
Touch me now. do not deny
That you’re wanting me, I could be wanting you too.
I couldn’t believe you just didn’t know
I couldn’t believe I just didn’t show you how I feel

Might we never face this chance again
Life goes on there’s no time to pretend
Show yourself it can’t be wrong
In every way you will grow strong, till the end

Where are you now? I wish I could tell
I think of you, wishing you well for a life
That arose from the depths of our dream
I couldn’t believe that it would show
I couldn’t believe that you would know
I couldn’t believe you just didn’t know
I couldn’t believe I just didn’t show you how I feel
