Give Me Time

I've got myself a secret

and its resting in my lungs

aching just to climb aboard

and fly right off my tongue.

I'm glad your ears are nowhere near

cause I can whisper to myself

what I don't want you to hear

but wish that I could tell.

And if I spoke the words

my heart keeps hearing

would you speak them back?

Make up for all the

times I've missed

and color that I lack.

I love.

Sometime soon I'll try and pull you aside

and tell you all I feel.

But right before

I spill my guts

I'll pretend its all not real.

I'll fashion up some clever lie

all meaningless and fake.

Just give me time

to let you know

for both of our hearts sake.
