Who Are You Now?

I may sorta, kinda like you,
way more than I planned.
But you're someone else's now
because I missed my chance.

And I don't wanna be that someone,
who dreams from afar.
You find yourself in another's arms,
and I'll wait for a different embrace.

I can't help the way I feel,
I can't change my heart's path.
But I can seek a different road,
for this heart of mine.

I'm too shy a person,
too soft-spoken to ask you out.
So for that, I have to watch,
not that you'll ever know.

I sit to the side, playing it off.
I try to act cool, like it's not a big deal.
But you'll never find out,
because it'll never slip,
not from my lips.
