The Secret Admirer

I can no longer hide the love inside me
I think of something else but you�re all I can see.
It flows from my words like songs from a bird�
Perhaps this secret song you�ve already heard.

I room was cold and depleted
When you walked in it suddenly heated.
I can feel your essence in my chest�
Would you join the singing bird in his lonely nest?

You�ve given my a live a jumpstart;
Not loving you�d be treason to my heart.
And in front of this empty, cold fireplace,
Out of the darkness comes your beautiful face.

Every time I see you, my passion rises,
With enough power to solve the energy crisis.
I�m in heaven when you look in my eyes
But as I conceal the truth, it turns into lies.

No more secrets, no more fears�
Even if this story should end in tears.
I�d rather you hate me and say �no�
Then never tell you and never know.
