The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse 1:
I've been walking in circles
Watching you everyday
I've been taking every care
Not to scare you away
I've made you my friend
You've put your trust in me
I'm a shoulder t cry on
Whenever you're in need
Verse 2:
I've been reading your ways
Looking for a sign
Is there any chance at all
That I can make you mine
Well I've come this far
but there's a longer way to go
My chances look slim
But soon I will know
Chorus:
It's tearing me up inside
Holding back for you
Feelings are hard to hide
They're 'bout to slip right through
It's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know
Verse 3:
I've been trying lately
To show you a secret way
I reached out to touch you gently
Stricken by your grace
I just hope that you see
And help me brake this pain
If I lose you by telling
It's all been in vain
Chorus:
It's tearing me up inside
Holding back for you
Feelings are hard to hide
They're 'bout to slip right through
It's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know ohoh
Bridge:
There was a time before when I thought I was brave
But now I'm here with you I shiver and I shake
I fight the words of love and it all comes crashing down
I close my eyes
I let them go
I have to let you know
Chorus:
It's tearing me up inside
Holding back for you
Feelings are hard to hide
They're 'bout to slip right through ooh
It's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know that
It's tearing me up insiiiide
Oh
It's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know ohohoh
