I sit alone in the darkness
Planning the perfect approach
The first step is always the hardest
The first move means the most
The more I think about it, the more confused I am
I could come out and say it then you'd know where I stand
Would make it so much easier

Chorus:
You meet in the middle
Give me half a chance (whoa, ooh, whoa)
Meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance (oh baby!)
Meet me in the middle

It's a one-sided situation
A one-way love affair
I know if I remain silent
We end up going nowhere
The way it's building up in me I don't know what to do
Tell the truth and take the consequences, feel like a fool
Would make it so much easier

(Chorus)

I got to know which way to turn
To let you know or act nonchalant
I may be wrong to come on strong
Scare you away and that's not what I want

The more I think about it, the more confused I am
I could come out and say it then you'd know where I stand
Would make it so much easier
Oh, so much easier

(Chorus)
