Lyrics the wellspring - not out loud

If you listen hard you will see
this silent secret taking shape
crawling up my body
But it's locked in a box
hiding for keeping safe
afraid of what it might scream out
if it came out to play

I love you
but not out loud today
I love you
but not out loud today

When you look at me
I feel caught and catching
Hoping your lips are turning
‘round the room towards mine
The hint of chemistry there
mischievously begging a dare
If I knew better
I’d put you out of my head
But I know nothing and
feel everything instead

I love you
but not out loud today
I love you
but not out loud today

This morning I woke
to your breath grazing my ear
Wrapping myself in the brief belief
that you were laying here
In the hazy warmth of dawn I brace
myself for winter’s blow
As I land the leap out of fantasy
and go on my way alone

I love you
but not out loud today
I love you
but not out loud today
