what i can't say

there's a little girl,

who sits alone on the park bench

watching as the willow trees sway

it's just another day

and there's a little boy,

who watches from behind

pretends not to see her cry,

sometimes it's better to hide

but what he's really feeling inside

are words he can't bring himself to say

he's too innocent, too afraid

but what he's really feeling inside,

is music to her ears,

too bad she'll never hear him say

i can't stand to see you sitting there all alone

i can't stand to see you crying when no one watches

i can't stand to see you hurting,

and i would do anything to just see you smile again

i like you, i love you, i want to be your friend

and i'll stick with you until the end

she sees right past him

he's just another kid,

she doesn't know what she's missing

because he got too scared and hid

he sees only her

she's his one and only,

he doesn't know what he's missing

when he pretends not to care and lies

but what he's really feeling inside

are words he can't bring himself to say

he's too innocent, too afraid

but what he's really feeling inside,

is music to her ears,

too bad she'll never hear him say

i can't stand to see you sitting there all alone

i can't stand to see you crying when no one watches

i can't stand to see you hurting,

and i would do anything to just see you smile again

i like you, i love you, i want to be your friend

and i'll stick with you until the end

there's a girl who sits

alone on a park bench.
