Face to face, and heart to heart 
We're so close, yet so far apart. 
I close my eyes, I look away. 
That's just because I'm not okay. 

But I hold on, I stay strong 
Wondering if we still belong. 

Will we ever say the words we're feeling, 
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls? 
Will we ever have a happy ending 
Or will we forever only be pretending? 

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, 
a-ah, a-ah-lways be pretending? 

How long do I fantasize? 
Make believe that it's still alive? 
Imagine that I am good enough 
And we can choose the ones we love? 

But I hold on, I stay strong 
Wondering if we still belong. 

Will we ever say the words we're feeling, 
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls? 
Will we ever have a happy ending 
Or will we forever only be pretending? 

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, 
a-ah, a-ah-lways be... 

Keeping secrets safe 
Every move we make; 
Seems like no one's left to know 
And it's such a shame 
'Cause if you feel the same 
How am I supposed to know? 

Will we ever say the words we're feeling, 
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls? 
Will we ever have a happy ending 
Or will we forever only be pretending? 

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, 
a-ah, a-ah-lways be... 

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, 
a-ah, a-ah-lways be... 

Will we a-ah, a-ah-lways, a-ah, a-ah-lways, 
a-ah, a-ah-lways be pretending?
