Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
my heart, for you?
Would you say that you
would try to love me too
In your mind,
could you ever be
really close to me,
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
could be certain, then
I would say the things I want to say tonight
But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
really close to me,
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
can be certain, then
I could say the things I want to say tonight
But till I can see
that you'd really care for me,
I'll keep trying to hide the way I feel inside
The way I feel inside
my heart, for you?
Would you say that you
would try to love me too
In your mind,
could you ever be
really close to me,
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
could be certain, then
I would say the things I want to say tonight
But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
really close to me,
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
can be certain, then
I could say the things I want to say tonight
But till I can see
that you'd really care for me,
I'll keep trying to hide the way I feel inside

and i loved this song ever since.
i'd been waiting for a song that so well described the inner struggles i'd been feeling..
(Do you smoke?)
I laughed a little.
"Well, do you?"
"Why?"
"When we were looking through the bags."
I laughed again. "Thanks for not saying anything."
"Yeah."
She was pretty preppy though. And she wanted me to teach her guitar but she wouldn't cut her nails no matter how much I told her it wouldn't work. I figured she didn't give a shit about me but when I transferred out of there she and this other girl I knew okay (she was really cool and we were really alike. I wish I had known her better) made a card and had everybody sign it with farewell wishes and all that crap. It was supposed to be a surprise but I knew about it. It was kind of nice though. I distanced myself from everybody because we were going to move and I hated the place we were living and the school I was going to. I transferred there in the middle of the year and I was leaving near the end of the year so I just felt like I was passing through. So I went to the faculty room to say bye to the teachers and everything and she was there having one last person sign the card so she wouldn't let me leave when I was done. She gave me the card and was joking around and everything,. "You cheater, leaving everybody here. Why do you have to go?" She was looking at me, pretending to be sad and then she smiled. (Fuck.) So I told her that I had feelings for her but that I realized we had nothing in common and she just nodded like she was saying, “Yeah, I know”. It was kind of funny in front of everybody.
I realized after I left that I actually had some pretty good friends outside of school. I was too busy hating the place to realize. I guess that’s sort of a boring story…
But I think the song is about having feelings of romantic love for the other person so now that I think of it my story doesn’t have much relevance. Yeah, the Zombies are much underrated.
yay!
to me this song does a brilliant job at conveying that quiet and private feeling you have when you're very fond of someone but have no real hope of it flourishing into anything more than silent longing from afar.
