Analysis of All I can't say



There so much I can't say
When I look into your eyes
maybe you'll reject me and
shatter all my pride. I'd
hold you for a life time if
you'd  just take my hand. I'd
love you like no other, but
you don't understand
every time I see you you're
holding onto him the pain
cuts like a dagger making
wounds that never cure. so
I'll dream of us together of
How good it could be, and
I'll keep the secret love you
could've had with me.
