Verse 1: I've been walking in circles Watching you everyday I've been taking every care Not to scare you away I've made you my friend You've put your trust in me I'm a shoulder t cry on Whenever you're in need Verse 2: I've been reading your ways Looking for a sign Is there any chance at all That I can make you mine Well I've come this far but there's a longer way to go My chances look slim But soon I will know Chorus: It's tearing me up inside Holding back for you Feelings are hard to hide They're 'bout to slip right through It's tearing me up inside I don't know what to do I know I'll lose this fight How can I let you know Verse 3: I've been trying lately To show you a secret way I reached out to touch you gently Stricken by your grace I just hope that you see And help me brake this pain If I lose you by telling It's all been in vain Chorus: It's tearing me up inside Holding back for you Feelings are hard to hide They're 'bout to slip right through It's tearing me up inside I don't know what to do I know I'll lose this fight How can I let you know ohoh Bridge: There was a time before when I thought I was brave But now I'm here with you I shiver and I shake I fight the words of love and it all comes crashing down I close my eyes I let them go I have to let you know Chorus: It's tearing me up inside Holding back for you Feelings are hard to hide They're 'bout to slip right through ooh It's tearing me up inside I don't know what to do I know I'll lose this fight How can I let you know that It's tearing me up insiiiide Oh It's tearing me up inside I don't know what to do I know I'll lose this fight How can I let you know ohohoh
