Heart beating
world flying by
all I can see is you and I

your hand so close to mine
my heart is beating in my ears
fingertips almost touching
I make a promise to myself

If the light turns red I'll reach out and take your hand
but I forgot that I'm a liar
even to myself

the light turns red
and I do nothing
because above all else
I am a coward
when it comes to the heart

irrational fear
anxious eyes
all I can see is you and I
it's not like you'd care
you told me so yourself
but above all else
I am a coward
when it comes to the heart

the regret is going to eat me alive
for not taking your hand
for not holding you tight

I'll regret this for the rest of my life
