When I find myself watching the time I never think about all the funny things you said I feel like it's dead Where is it leading me now I turn around in the still of the room Knowing this is when I'm gonna make my move Can't wait any longer And I'm feeling stronger but oh Just as I walk through the door I can feel your emotion It's pullin' me back Back to love you I know I'm caught up in the middle I cry just a little When I think of letting go Oh no, gave up on the riddle I cry just a little When he plays piano in the dark He holds me close like a thief of the heart He plays a melody Born to tear me all apart The silence is broken And no words are spoken but oh Just as I walk through the door I can feel your emotion It's pullin' me back Back to love you I know I'm caught up in the middle I cry just a little When I think of letting go Oh no, gave up on the riddle I cry just a little When he plays piano in the dark
