I look your way and I can't hope for anything
but maybe that you'd look my way too
do you even notice me

these days I see through different eyes
that only work if you do feel this way too

so if you love me please don't keep it to yourself
my heart is breaking into pieces
and if you need me please don't hesitate to tell me
I'm sick of holding in this secret
and I can't read your mind

you look my way and in your eyes you say
that you don't want to know me, that you've disowned me
but that's not fair 'cause I don't care to go from holding hands to shaking them
it doesn't work that way

so if you love me please don't keep it to yourself
my heart is breaking into pieces
and if you need me please don't hesitate to tell me
I'm sick of holding in this secret
and I can't read your mind
