That Was Yesterday

You know, I've always believed That when you feel somethin' Especially somethin' good for someone You shouldn't keep it from them You should let him know But I also believe that If you think it's love There's really no need to bring it up If you know there's no chance for it to grow But it seems like I'm always coming up with contradictions Because now I find that What I believe and what I feel Are two very different things And those feelings I've kept all to myself Are gonna come out now Even though they've changed So you see I guess I was right in one way That I never told you this And I don't really know why I'm telling you now But I'd just kinda like you to know that There couldn't be a you and me I might've changed my life for you And you might've changed for me If there weren't so many ifs and buts And if you had wanted it to be But because of the way I am And the way you are We never took the chance, did we? Call it respect, because we're not free Call it fear of rejection because of our pride Or call it just plain old common sense That it would be just too risky And too sticky a situation Because we wouldn't know exactly where we were going And we'd be afraid to take the ride Call it whatever, but I wanted you to know that I like you very much And you're the kind of person I could love You're honest, sincere, compassionate, not afraid To be too gentle and not afraid to be too strong and You got that certain kind of something People are always looking for and rarely find and Never seem to get enough of and somehow It doesnt seem wrong to tell you that No, we never kissed and never touched each other But our hearts have and our souls have and If we gaved them half the chance Look out, for I'll bet they could start a fire That nobody in the whole world could put out But that was yesterday, wasn't it? And things are so different now See I was right not to ever tell you Because I guess I always knew It would of never really had a chance to grow And though I'll use my better judgement again And never mail this letter I still kinda wanted you to know
