"Every Time"

 Open the door, I see your face 
 You come in, but we never embrace 
 I wish I could take a chance on you 
 But you wish different, what must I do? 
 I know I cannot say what I feel in my heart 
 Because when you hear it, my love will tear us apart 
 Sometimes I think I might someday have a chance 
 But everything you say just leaves me in this trance 
 I know I'll never have you because you'll never want me 
 So I'll just sit here ever so quietly 
 The friendship we share, I guess I mustn't break it 
 So I'll shut up and keep secluded to my pit 
 A pit where feelings are unspoken, they are the foreign word 
 And where my love for you can never be rendered 
 Now we say goodbye, I wish you wanted to stay 
 I close the door behind you, anxiously awaiting the next day 
 But every time I see you, I repeat all these words in my mind 
 Knowing you will never hear them, because to my love you are blind
