Late Night Longing

"Heart Held Back" [Verse 1] First saw you at a roadshow, lights and suits all around Whispered a prayer under my breath, hoping fate had plans bound Made a silent vow to excel, find a chance to speak Till I learned you were taken, had to bury feelings deep [Chorus] Can't make you love me, can't break through When dreams are distant, what can I do? A heart held back by the truth it knows In the silence, my hidden love grows [Verse 2] Heard the news of your freedom, secretly my heart soared Thought the time was finally right, something I could afford But the challenges were many, our lives like day and night I'm here trying, reaching out, why won’t you see the light? [Chorus] Can't make you love me, can't break through When dreams are distant, what can I do? A heart held back by the truth it knows In the silence, my hidden love grows [Bridge] Now I'm standing here, with promises I aim to keep Still you stand afar, hesitant to take the leap Is it the fear of past shadows, or the difference between? I’m here, all in, if you’d step into the scene [Chorus] Can't make you love me, can't break through When dreams are distant, what can I do? A heart held back by the truth it knows In the silence, my hidden love grows [Outro] Can’t m [Verse] First time I saw you At a fancy affair Thought I found my soulmate Like a breath of fresh air Prayed to the heavens For a chance to say hello But little did I know Your heart was spoken for Oh no [Verse 2] Kept my love a secret Buried deep inside Dreaming of the day When you'd be by my side But fate had other plans It seems it wasn't meant to be So I'll keep my unrequited desires locked away Can't you see? [Chorus] Oh I can't make you love me No matter how hard I try I'll hold onto these feelings As they flutter and fly Though my heart may be broken I'll keep my love a hidden mystery For you'll never know the depths of my unrequited desires Baby
