Standing in the open light

Within the swelter of the night

I found myself staring at youAnd every time our fingers touched

I felt like it would be too much

And too little to hang on to

I cannot fall in love with you

I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon

I cannot be this way with you

I cannot fall in love with you

I knew it when you looked my way

That I′d be begging you to stay

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn′t say it to myself

I felt it burning in the way

I held on when you moved away

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn′t say it

Why couldn′t I say it?

And every evening, every time

I keep replaying in my mind

And wondering if you do the same

And if it makes you lose your breath

And if it makes you just forget

That all of it's a bit insane

I cannot fall in love with you

I cannot feel this way so soon

I cannot be this way with you

I cannot fall in love with you

I knew it when you looked my way

That I′d be begging you to stay

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn′t say it to myself

I felt it burning in the way

I held on when you moved away

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn′t say it to myself

I knew it when you looked my way

That I'd be begging you to stay

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn′t say it to myself

I felt it burning in the way

I held on when you moved away

I couldn′t say it to myself

I couldn't say it to myself

I couldn′t say it

Why couldn't I say it?

But I cannot fall in love with you

I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon

I cannot be this way with you

I cannot fall in love with you
