I Want U

I want you,
Someday I’ll walk up to you,
   Open up my mouth and say
      I want you.
I need you,
You just can’t understand
   How long I’ve kept my feelings in,
      I want you.

Why can’t I say the words I want
   I want you
What could you say that’s worse
   than never knowing?
Why can’t I say?

I want you
You’d probably think I was a creep
   If you knew just how much
      I want you
I need you
Someday I’ll walk up to you
   open up my mouth and say
      I want you

Why can’t I dare to step into your spotlight?
I’d feel so bare to tell you what I’m feeling.
Suddenly you’re there

A moment’s an hour and
   I’ve lost my power, I’m weak.
My heart starts out racing,
   My mind slowly erasing, I leak.
Anticipation’s become desperation
   to deny annihilation I speak

I want you
You just can’t understand
   how long I’ve dreamt of telling you
      I love you
I love you
Please don’t misunderstand
   I only meant to tell you that
      I want you

Why can I say the words I want
   I want you
What cold you say that‘s worse
   than never knowing?
Why can’t I say?
   It’s okay
      Okay
         Okay
