if you could...

If you could only read my mind,

You would know what I feel, for you.

If you could only read my mind,

Its only friendship that I seek and truth.

If you could only read my mind,

You would know that my trust in you is complete

If you could only read my mind

You would know that I cannot lie of deceive,

If you could only read my mind,

I don't want to scare you away.

If you could only read my mind,

All my life I've been alone and I'm afraid

That this might never change

Open (open)

Wait (wait)

And secretly pray that

I didn't say the wrong word

Or gone too far with feeling

But I have never learned to hide

The things that I carry within me

If you could only...
