Wonder if you ever understand

We’ve been walking the same old streets
For more years than I can count
You laugh like summer after rain
And I still get lost somehow

You tell me stories about your dreams
And I pretend I’m doing fine
But every word you say to me
Keeps echoing in my mind

And maybe I’m a fool
For hiding what is true
But every time you look my way
I don’t know what to do

Do you ever feel it too?
When the night gets quiet
I’m still thinking about you
I’ve been waiting all these years
With a secret in my heart
And your name inside my tears

Oh, I wonder, wonder
If you’ll ever understand
Oh, I wonder, wonder
You’re the love I never had

I know your smile, I know your fears
I know the way you hide your pain
I’ve seen you shine through broken days
Like sunlight through the rain

I play it cool, I say “goodnight”
But I don’t wanna let you go
If only you could read my eyes
Then maybe you would know

That I’m tired of being close
But never close enough
I’m scared to lose the friend I have
By speaking out my love

Do you ever feel it too?
When the night gets quiet
I’m still thinking about you
I’ve been waiting all these years
With a secret in my heart
And your name inside my tears

Oh, I wonder, wonder
If you’ll ever understand
Oh, I wonder, wonder
You’re the love I never had

What if I told you tonight?
What if I crossed that line?
Would you run away from me
Or finally call me mine?

I’ve been silent for so long
But silence hurts too much
Darling, I am falling
Every time we touch

Do you ever feel it too?
When the night gets quiet
I’m still thinking about you
I’ve been waiting all these years
With a secret in my heart
And your name inside my tears

Oh, I wonder, wonder
If you’ll ever understand
Oh, I wonder, wonder
You’re the love I never had
