Subtlety

If I keep hiding what I feel, what is the guarantee

that you aren't wondering why I use such subtlety?

What if you are waiting for me to make a pass

and since I'm not ,you wonder if I'm just kissing ass?

What if you think that I would find someone new?

and think that if I cared I would've been open to you?

Yet, what if I risk it all, and tell you how I feel?

I tried to once before you know? when I first felt it real

you played it down, gently, said it was my stupid luck

I didn't back off, but I thought man this must suck

to have a lady look at you as if she was insane

and be willing to stand outside your life, in the pouring rain

she can't be serious, she doesn't even know

What there is inside of me, deep inside of Joe

But what if she does? and what if she sees?

What there is to search for, and your heart appease?
