(Verse 1)
We laugh so loud, we share our dreams
Walk the same streets, it always seems
Like you and I, a perfect team
The best of friends, a vibrant gleam
(Chorus)
But lately, when I look at you
A different feeling starts to brew
My heart beats fast, it's something new
A secret wish, I can't undo
And oh, the fear that grips me tight
To speak these words and lose the light
Of our friendship, pure and bright
Lost in the shadows of the night
(Verse 2)
We talk for hours, side by side
About the world, where feelings hide
You tell me tales of hearts that glide
And in your eyes, I long to confide
(Chorus)
But lately, when I look at you
A different feeling starts to brew
My heart beats fast, it's something new
A secret wish, I can't undo
And oh, the fear that grips me tight
To speak these words and lose the light
Of our friendship, pure and bright
Lost in the shadows of the night
(Bridge)
What if I say the words out loud?
Will there be silence in the crowd?
Will you step back, lost in a cloud?
Will our easy laughter be disavowed?
This precious bond, I hold it dear
The thought of losing it brings a tear
Stuck in this space, consumed by fear
Wishing you knew, wishing you were near
(Chorus)
'Cause lately, when I look at you
A different feeling starts to brew
My heart beats fast, it's something new
A secret wish, I can't undo
And oh, the fear that grips me tight
To speak these words and lose the light
Of our friendship, pure and bright
Lost in the shadows of the night
(Outro)
So I'll just smile and play it cool
And keep this secret, this unspoken rule
Hoping one day, against all cruel
Odds, you might feel it too, my jewel.
But until then, my friend so true
I'll cherish every moment with you.
