Slipping Away

So long I have been searching
Just for one person to show me the way
I've been waiting for my chances
To say all the things that I need to say

I don't know you but I'm drawn to you
It's just one more thing I can't explain
I know I may never have my chance
It's just one more problem that I can't change

But I want to know you
I want to learn of the person inside
I want to hold you
Find out exactly what's on your mind

I may never know
And our chance to grow
Is slipping away
But just let me say
I won't let the pain I have show

Every now and then I think about
Why I'm all alone without
Anyone to help show me the way
I tell myself I'll figure out
But deep inside I hold this doubt
Cause I'm looking in your eyes for words you won't say

Everytime I talk to you
There are words I just can't speak
So I keep it bottled up inside
But now It's time to break

But I want to know you
I want to learn of the person inside
I want to hold you
Find out exactly what's on your mind

I may never know
And our chance to grow
Is slipping away
But just let me say
I won't let the pain I have show
