Lyrics:

Once you told me you don't feel the same
Well it's been a while but I think it's time
To be brave and tell you all the things
I never had the courage to say

So before these feelings fade away
I want you to know I'll always look up to you
To your kindness and your encouragement
To always be my best

I could never tell it to you straight
But the truth is you've meant so much to me
So much more than words could ever convey

I just want to hold you close
And tell you everything's alright
I've never been one for more than small affection

You know I'd never hurt you
You know I'd always love you
But I know you'd never want to love someone
Who can't even stand up straight

So this will be the last time
That I tell you how I feel
'Cause I'm sure you must be tired of hearing me
Sing about you again

On and on I keep telling myself
To push these feelings aside
'Cause all this time deep down I've known
You'll never be more than a friend

On and on I keep telling myself
To push these feelings aside
But I guess some things just take a little while
I guess some things just take a little while
I guess some things just take a little while...

A Little While

She stayed up longer than he did
Listened as his breath gained weight
Keeping still holds it together 
Just enough so it won’t- 

Terrified intuition pressures
An inner scream, try not to wake
Keeping still holds it together
Just enough so it won’t- 

Where were the prayers of the victim?
Mislaid in domestic bedroom wars
Keeping still holds it together 
Just enough so it won’t-

Breaking away she slips the covers chains, oh she ain’t over you
Retreating to her mind to regain and retrace
Keeping still holds it together
Just enough so it won’t- 

Fallen tears will vanish by morning
Her fairy-tale will just have to wait 
Keeping still holds it together
Just enough, just enough, just enough

Keeping Still
