It’s been a while, love
It’s been a long road
A long path
Of conversations gone and said
You telling me it’s a simple crush
Telling me that I don’t know you
Telling me that I’ll get over it
It’s not simple
To you, it may be
To me
I’m willing to figure out your past
I’m willing to listen
I’m willing to be there in your future
But
I’m okay with being labeled as nothing to you
Until you realize
That I’m something
That I’m the gold you’ve been mining for
All these years
And when you do
I will have you figured out
A map of your past and present
And you won’t have the excuse to tell me
“It’s just a simple crush, sweetheart.”
Because in the end
You were the one with a simple crush
And you just hadn’t figured me out quite yet
You don’t have a map of my past and present
Because the gold you were looking for
Is in front of your eyes
But it’s off limits
Until you have a map
And I stop saying to you
“It’s just a simple crush, sweetheart”
