Lyrics
"Heart Held Back"
[Verse 1]
First saw you at a roadshow, lights and suits all around
Whispered a prayer under my breath, hoping fate had plans bound
Made a silent vow to excel, find a chance to speak
Till I learned you were taken, had to bury feelings deep
[Chorus]
Can't make you love me, can't break through
When dreams are distant, what can I do?
A heart held back by the truth it knows
In the silence, my hidden love grows
[Verse 2]
Heard the news of your freedom, secretly my heart soared
Thought the time was finally right, something I could afford
But the challenges were many, our lives like day and night
I'm here trying, reaching out, why won’t you see the light?
[Chorus]
Can't make you love me, can't break through
When dreams are distant, what can I do?
A heart held back by the truth it knows
In the silence, my hidden love grows
[Bridge]
Now I'm standing here, with promises I aim to keep
Still you stand afar, hesitant to take the leap
Is it the fear of past shadows, or the difference between?
I’m here, all in, if you’d step into the scene
[Chorus]
Can't make you love me, can't break through
When dreams are distant, what can I do?
A heart held back by the truth it knows
In the silence, my hidden love grows
[Outro]
Can’t m
[Verse]
First time I saw you
At a fancy affair
Thought I found my soulmate
Like a breath of fresh air
Prayed to the heavens
For a chance to say hello
But little did I know
Your heart was spoken for
Oh no
[Verse 2]
Kept my love a secret
Buried deep inside
Dreaming of the day
When you'd be by my side
But fate had other plans
It seems it wasn't meant to be
So I'll keep my unrequited desires locked away
Can't you see?
[Chorus]
Oh
I can't make you love me
No matter how hard I try
I'll hold onto these feelings
As they flutter and fly
Though my heart may be broken
I'll keep my love a hidden mystery
For you'll never know the depths of my unrequited desires
Baby
