Silent War of Hearts

[Skit] (Softly spoken) I see you there, just out of reach A love that’s silent, a lesson you teach In the shadows, where secrets lie I whisper to the night, asking why [Strumming guitar] Your smile, a forbidden dream Caught between reality and a distant gleam In the quiet of this room, my heart's unrest I pen these words, a love confessed [Verse 1] I see you standing there, across the crowded room A look so pure, so rare, it cuts right through the gloom But there's a wall between us, a line that I can't cross In this silent war of hearts, I’m afraid I'll lose and pay the cost [Pre-Chorus] I love you in a way I'm not allowed to So I'll keep trying to forget you Every night I whisper to the stars Hoping they’ll carry my broken heart afar [Chorus] If I could write you a song to make you fall in love I would already have you up under my arm I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this But all my words, they fail, to mend what's gone amiss [Verse 2] I tried to hide the truth, but it shines through my disguise A longing in my soul, reflected in my eyes We danced around the edge, of what could never be Now every step I take is haunted by your memory [Pre-Chorus] I love you in a way I'm not allowed to So I'll keep trying to forget you Every night I whisper to the stars Hoping they’ll carry my broken heart afar [Chorus] If I could write you a song to make you fall in love I would already have you up under my arm I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this But all my words, they fail, to mend what's gone amiss [Bridge] The echoes of your laughter, they linger in my mind A melody that's bittersweet, a love I cannot find I’ve painted you in colors, that dreams are made of But reality keeps pulling me away from what I love [Chorus] If I could write you a song to make you fall in love I would already have you up under my arm I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this But all my words, they fail, to mend what's gone amiss [Outro] I love you in a way I'm not allowed to So I'll keep trying to forget you But every night I whisper to the stars Hoping they’ll carry my broken heart afar
