You know, I've always believed 
That when you feel somethin' 
Especially somethin' good for someone 
You shouldn't keep it from them 
You should let him know 
But I also believe that 
If you think it's love 
There's really no need to bring it up 
If you know there's no chance for it to grow 
But it seems like 
I'm always coming up with contradictions 
Because now I find that 
What I believe and what I feel 
Are two very different things 
And those feelings I've kept all to myself 
Are gonna come out now 
Even though they've changed 
So you see 
I guess I was right in one way 
That I never told you this 
And I don't really know why I'm telling you now 
But I'd just kinda like you to know that 
There couldn't be a you and me 
I might've changed my life for you 
And you might've changed for me 
If there weren't so many ifs and buts 
And if you had wanted it to be. 

But because of the way I am 
And the way you are 
We never took the chance, did we? 
Call it respect, because we're not free 
Call it fear of rejection because of our pride 
Or call it just plain old common sense 
That it would be just too risky 
And too stick a situation 
Because we wouldn't know exactly where we were going 
And we'd be afraid to take the ride 
Call it whatever, but I wanted you to know that 
I like you very much 
And you're the kind of person I could love 
You're honest, sincere, compassionate, not afraid 
To be too gentle and not afraid to be too strong and 
You got that certain kind of something 
People are always looking for and rarely find and 
Never seem to get enough of and somehow 
It doesnt seem wrong to tell you that 
No, we never kissed and never touched each other 
But our hearts have and our souls have and 
If we gaved them half the chance 
Look out, for I'll bet they can start a fire 
That nobody in the whole world could put out 
But that was yesterday, wasn't it? 
And things are so different now 
See I was right not to ever tell you 
Because I always knew 
It would of never really had a chance to grow 
And though I'll use my better judgement again 
And never mail this letter 
I still kinda wanted you to know!
