When we were kids,
I saw you smiling at me by the door.
I was a little shy because you were the most
beautiful girl in our school.
(verse 2)
I thought you had a crush on me
Because you always talked to me and wanted me by your side.
But I realized later,
you were just being friendly.
(bridge)
I like you—I really do—
But I still can't tell you.
I don't have the courage
To express how I feel
(Chorus)
I’ve had a crush on you since back then,
But I could never find the words to say.
I was scared that you didn't feel the same way
So I kept my feelings hidden
day after day
(Verse 3)
Time moved on, we met at a party,
Our friends wanted us to dance.
You agreed, and I held your hand,
Lost in a momentary trance.
You didn't have a single clue,
How happy I was just holding you.
(Chorus)
I’ve had a crush on you since back then,
But I could never find the words to say.
I was scared that you didn't feel the same way
So I kept my feelings hidden
day after day
(Bridge)
I like you—I really do—
But I still can't tell you.
I don't have the courage
To express how I feel.
(Outro)
I regret that I wasn't able to say it.
I regret that I didn't have the courage.
I regret that I let my fear come first.
I regret that I never got to tell you,"
I love you."
