Whisper
Tommy Wallach Lyrics

I do confess that I licked your lips
I admit that I took advantage of your vulnerable state.

While you were sleeping on my shoulder that night
You were asleep and unaware of what was happening.

There was a spell caught in that kiss
The kiss had a power over both of us that we couldn't control.

I'm the apple that you never should bite
I'm dangerous and should be avoided, like the forbidden fruit.

And now you're lost in the dream
You're caught up in a fantasy that will never come true.

Of a love I knew was doomed from the start
I knew from the beginning that our love would never work out.

And your prince will never find you
You're waiting for someone who will never come.

If I can quiet down my beating heart
If I can control myself and not act on my feelings.

So I whisper, I whisper
I speak softly because I don't want to disturb your sleep.

Because I never wanna wake you up
I don't want to ruin the illusion of happiness you're experiencing.

And all the fairies in the forest
Everyone around us can see that our love is doomed.

Go running at the sight of my face
I'm so unlikable that even magical creatures avoid me.

How they adore you, so sorry for you
Everyone loves you, but pities you for being with me.

Still sleeping in my silent embrace
You're still in my arms, unaware of the harsh reality.

And when I leave you, just for an hour
I can't stand to be around you all the time, but can't bear to be apart for too long.

I scream until I lose my voice
I hate myself for being with you and can't contain my emotions.

Oh I would leave you, if I'd the power
I wish I could break away from you, but I'm trapped by my feelings.

But my love you know you've left me no choice
You've captured my heart and I can't let go.

And in this quiet, I hear my conscience
When I'm alone, I realize the truth about our situation.

Saying 'Boy, you let that poor child be'
My conscience is telling me to let you go and not hurt you anymore.

Oh delicious self-deception
I'm lying to myself and pretending that everything is okay.

I whisper so I don't have to scream
I keep my true feelings hidden so I don't cause a scene.

Shh...
Be quiet and keep our secrets hidden.
