how many days
will it take
to make a
like go on
inside your head
you forget that i'm waiting
but i know it's hard
the light is dim
and it's not bright enough to notice
something in me
so i'm hiding behind this guitar
without it i'm afraid
to speak my mind to say you are
you're a diamond in the rough
i know it's not enough
to sing it so i'll drop this guitar
but only for you for you
how many nights
will i wake up startled
to find you
inside my head
i'm hoping the lights will flicker
'cause you know it's hard
for me to lie
lie awake and wonder
if you'll ever be there
so i'm hiding behind this guitar
without it i'm afraid
to speak my mind to say you are
you're a diamond in the rough
i know it's not enough
to sing it so i'll drop this guitar
but only for you
and though it's hard
i will bring i'll bring myself to ask you
to ask you this
should i keep hiding behind this guitar
or should i look you in the eye
and speak my mind and say you are
you're a diamond in the rough
but i know it's not enough
oh to sing it
so i'll drop this guitar
oh to sing it
so i'll drop this guitar
but only for you
