Decade of Longing is an emotive ballad that captures the profound feelings of a boy who has secretly loved a girl for ten years. Despite the passage of time, he grapples with his fear of revealing his true feelings, painting a poignant picture of unrequited love and the bittersweet nature of longing.
Verse 1:
Ten years gone, still haunted by your smile,
I watch you from a distance, it’s been a while.
Every laugh, every tear, every moment shared,
Wondering if you’ve ever felt this love, unpaired.
Chorus:
Oh, I long for you, but my heart is a cage,
Afraid to speak the words, stuck in this maze.
A decade of silence, a lifetime of dreams,
Holding onto a love, bursting at the seams.
Verse 2:
You dance with another, and my heart breaks a bit,
Every step you take away, fears start to flit.
I remember the day, you told me your dreams,
Wishing you knew how your smile redeems.
Chorus:
Oh, I long for you, but my heart is a cage,
Afraid to speak the words, stuck in this maze.
A decade of silence, a lifetime of dreams,
Holding onto a love, bursting at the seams.
Bridge:
What if I told you? What if I tried?
Would you laugh and run away, or would you confide?
Every night I wonder, 'What if it’s too late?'
The fear of rejection, it’s my heaviest weight.
Verse 3:
Now here we are, the years have flown by,
My heart still whispers, but my mind shouts goodbye.
Yet every time you walk by, it feels brand new,
A decade of longing, I’m still lost in you.
Chorus:
Oh, I long for you, but my heart is a cage,
Afraid to speak the words, stuck in this maze.
A decade of silence, a lifetime of dreams,
Holding onto a love, bursting at the seams.
Outro:
So here in the shadows, I quietly stand,
With ten years of feelings tucked deep in my hand.
I’ll cherish you always, through the laughter and pain,
In this decade of longing, your love is my chain.
