Lies Beneath The Heart

To you, I tell a lie
I may say I don't love you,
But boy, I try
Just hear me out, what I say now, is true
There is no one that I would rather live to
I went on a journey,
And there, I found you
But remember, I too, am still learning
I cry inside when I see you smile
Even more when you say goodbye
But my heart is still on trial
When I tell you, don't ask why,
Maybe someday I shall be ready
To let my heart be tamed
But until then I will take life steady
The one I love, forever, remains unnamed
