In case my heart, that trembles whenever I see you, gets noticed
I treat you gruffly but
The reason that I can’t sleep and toss and turn all night
Is you – but you wouldn’t know

I pretend to run into you but I was secretly hiding
I talk to you as if I didn’t expect it
The thousand footsteps that I used to pace back and forth
You wouldn’t know
* The words that keep lingering in my mouth
The words that fill up the whole heart
I practice them every day but when I stand in front of you
I can’t even say the first letter

The words I want to let only you hear
The words that crazily, crazily make my heart beat
I love you

I see your back ahead of me and I write with my fingertips
The words that I can’t say in front of you
The thousand footsteps toward you
Are hidden behind me

* Repeat

The words I want to let only you hear
The words that crazily, crazily make my heart beat
I love you, I love you, I love you
As much as I can’t say it with just words
Can’t you hear it? Can’t you see it?
My heart?

The words I want to tell you just once
The words I want to shout to the whole world
But the person you dream of, the person you’ve hoped for
I know it’s not me so-

The words I secretly swallow by myself
The words that are so difficult to the point of death
I love you
