Hello Stranger

boy named bri

Hello stranger.
I’ve been waiting with a compliment for you,
In case it’s something that you don’t already know.
Hello stranger.
There is always something left unsaid.
But just ask me and i’ll tell you, though I don’t even know your name.

We pass each other by.
These thoughts I have, I never share.
But I’d tell them all to you…

Eye contact from across the room.
Does this mean any thing to you?
What kind of thoughts are running through your head right now?

It’s always the quiet sort of things that I can’t share
But still I lie to myself and say you’d understand…
You could never understand this.

Oh, here I go again.
I can’t believe I’m alone in this.
It’s a failure on my part that I haven’t given up on you yet.

Hello, hello again, I’m back.
And I still haven’t said even half of what I’ve thought.
I swear I’m tired of always holding in.
I never take the chance.

Are you there? Can you hear me still?
What could I say that could possibly get through to you?

Oh, here I go again.
I can’t believe that I’m alone in this.
It’s a failure on my part that I haven’t given up on you yet.
Here I go again, giving you more than you have a right to ask.
I’m still not sure what it is that makes me want you despite of all this.
