Skipjack

I keep my hand hidden from view

A poker face is what's called for with you

I hold my cards tight to my chest

Just one misjudged look, and you'll guess the rest

Turn my worst fears into certainty

But I can't bring myself to leave for somewhere else

Without you forcing me which you won't do which means that
