saying it by not saying it

I find myself in circles, words spinning through the air
Trying to convey what's true, but careful not to share
The simple truth I've hidden deep, where feelings often dwell
In every whispered thought of you, in every tale I tell

I speak in softened riddles, in metaphors that tease
In every look, in every touch, a silent symphony

I'm running out of ways to say I'm falling without saying it
Dancing around the subject, though my heart is fully lit
Every word, each subtle move, is my confession, true
I'm running out of ways to say I'm falling without saying it to you

So here I am with verses, wrapped in sweet disguise
Hoping that you feel the yearn behind these tender eyes
I trace the edges of the words, but never quite commit
Yet every line I write for you, I know you'll never miss

We don't need to rush, but the clock's ticking faster
Caught in this rhythm, we're both chasing after
This connection's getting stronger, like a secret you can't keep
Every beat's a heartbeat, and it's pulling us deep
I'm ready when you are, just say those words three
We're dancing around the truth, but love is what I see

I'm running out of ways to say I love you without saying it
Dancing around the subject, though my heart is fully lit
Every word, each subtle move, is my confession, true
I'm running out of ways to say I love you without saying it to you

Each time I take a step, I'm closer to the line
But fear keeps holding back the words I know are mine
If I could find the courage, if I could make it through
I'd finally say those words I'm dancing 'round for you

I'm running out of ways to say I love you without saying it
Dancing around the subject, though my heart is fully lit
Every word, each subtle move, is my confession, true
I'm running out of ways to say I love you without saying it to you

I love you, Anthony
