How could I? I’m so impure

There’s no way

It’s so obscure

Not a single sign

There’s nowhere to hide

Yesterday she passed right by

She looked at me, then darted her eyes

I could never try

She would never be mine

How could I?

I can’t help but cry

You don’t know your true value

Ruby red

I don’t know if I could ever deserve you

So I’ll kiss myself goodbye

I don’t know who I have been

I could never commit the sin

I’m so twisted over you

Running out of blue

I was afraid she’d pull me in

I see her grin and I just spin

Oh Ruby Red

I might as well be dead

How could I?

I can’t help but cry

You don’t know your true value

Ruby red

I don’t know if I could ever deserve you

So I’ll kiss myself goodbye

Such a gem is hard to find

Digging down with nowhere to hide

If you ever had the time

Could you somehow be mine?
