Cover On My Heart

Everyday feels all the same
Nine to five gets so mundane
But something breaks with just one glimpse of you
I would stare so long, while
Trying to tell you with my eyes
I didn't say a thing, I thought you knew
I wish I never did assume
'Cause I was gonna tell you today
I even wrote the words I could say
I finally found the courage
But now it's too far
It took me all this time to reveal
What everything about you does to me
So tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?
I spent all night trying to explain
How to tell you I adore you
And how I'm moved by every word you say
But today there's an empty space
I found you gone without a trace
I wished that I could have told you yesterday
Maybe then you could have stayed
I was gonna tell you today
I even wrote the words that I could say
I finally found the courage
But now it's too far
It took me all this time to reveal
What everything about you does to me
So tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?
It feels like my point of existance
Has vanished with you in the distance
Whatever it takes I'll persist 'til I see your face again
I was gonna tell you today
I even wrote the words that I could say
I finally found the courage
But now it's too far
(It's too far, I gotta get to where you are)
It took me all this time to reveal
What everything about you does to me
Tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?
Hey, hey
Tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?
