Never think that that smile means he likes you
Never think that that wink means you look good today
Never think that that laugh means he wants you around
Don’t entertain such thoughts, you can’t afford to think that way

Because once you do, you start to fall
so never think about love at all

Or you’ll come out wounded and bruised
and you’ll feel broken, empty, and used
ignore the weak knees, the flutter of heart
ignore the butterflies, they’ll tear you apart
don’t be fooled, honey, it’s all a trap
and once you’re caught there’s no coming back

Never think that that hello means he missed you
Never think that that how are you means he cares
Never think that that look means he loves you too
Don’t let those things get to your head, honey don’t you dare

'Cause once they do, they'll poison your mind
you’ll be ecstatic for a while and then you’ll find

That you’ll come out wounded and bruised
and you’ll feel broken, empty, and used
ignore the weak knees, the flutter of heart
ignore the butterflies, they’ll tear you apart
don’t be fooled, honey, it’s all a trap
and once you’re caught there’s no coming back

All bad things are wrapped up like presents
but they turn out to be Pandora’s box
and they’ll shine bright like a diamonds
but one touch and it’ll turn to rocks

I'm not scared to fall in love
I'm terrified to try
and realize that I don't want you
Just show me you love me,  show me how much you care.
Don't you dare just leave me here with only a memory.
Make sure I can feel what you say you feel,  
Make me believe it's all real,  
I don't wanna dream of you every night,  to only have your face slowly fade away
I don't wanna recall your voice only to have the sound gradually be replaced
With silence
I wanna remember your smile,  your touch,  
And when the pain is too much,
I'll look back on when times were rough and you pulled me through,
Cause it's always been you
It's helped me now and it will help me then,
Just show me how much you love me,  make me believe it's true
Make me believe I'm worth loving, like I believe in you
And if it comes down to finding someone new,  
Your love will be the standard,  
The way in which I'll measure affection and though they may never reach your perfection,  
At least one day I'll find love and attention,
Cause you showed me the possibilities,  
How love can really feel and be
I realize it may not be meant for you and me,  
And I don't know how or where
But show me you love me,
Show me how much you care.
