1. The Power
Hold our secrets in just a little longer
Don’t they always say that it can’t get any worse?
I’m starting to realize that I might just do anything for you
That’s a power that I don’t want to give

2. Rotten Memories
Spill out all the broken pieces, throw them in the trash
They can sit and rot and fester until the smell like week old oranges
I won’t shed a tear, nor will I blink an eye

3. Unrequited Love
All the pain, the suffering
My love, left in the cold, blindsided
Oh, my love is unrequited
Touches kept far away, away
Oh, my love, I’ve been denied it
Oh, my love is unrequited
Kisses from across the room
Short and cold, and solely one-sided
Oh, my love is unrequited
Stayed afloat, but not for far
Oh, my love, I cannot fight it
Oh, my love is unrequited

4. Excruciatingly Aware
Constantly aware of where you are
I know when you’re coming by the click of your pen
I see you out of the corner of my eye
I can read your mood by the back of your head

5. Almost Lover
Finally, my fears are confirmed
You’ve known me too long to see me any other way
Perhaps I’ll grow to love you platonically
Maybe from here I’ll see you like the big brother I never had
Instead of an unattainable almost lover

6. Maybe Someday
I hope you can keep your eyes and ears open
I hope that you might sometimes hear my name
Or see my smile
Maybe you’ll even think that you really missed out.

7. Those Three Words
Silence begs to be broken
It pulls my lips apart
“I love you,” I finally say
But already you’ve stopped caring
About my barely beating heart
