too many kites and our strings got crossed
you touched my hand and my heart got lost
if you've been watching the things I do
you might have noticed that I loved you
but as it happened you never knew
I hid pictures of you in my room

there by your bedside all winter long
clutching my heart wishing she was gone
if you'd have woken you might not see
that all I wanted was you for me
so I just quietly left you be
sending kisses to you in your sleep

is it crazy to think that
maybe you wanted me to stay
and just forgot to say

if you've been listening to what I say
you might not love me now anyway
but in ten years I'll still feel the same
'cause I heard that these kind of things stay
