that turns my world upside down
every time I see her walk by I get butterflies

butterflies deep down in my soul, oh I cannot control the way I feel

i play old videos of you and me
all of these memories I can hardly sleep
i love the dreams where you are right next to me
holding on to the thoughts of you I have to keep
you're the one in a lifetime girl
you're my world
pictures of you on my phone
i stare at them so I don't feel alone
hold back the tears
all these emotions I'm breaking
going through pain I crave your love I don't want to lose you my one in a lifetime
nonstop you're clouding my mind
why did you leave me behind
now I can't stop thinking about how I love you
teardrops on my phone screen
i leave them to drown the memories
sometimes all you have is just not enough
sometimes boys and girls fall out of love
some things I can't explain hope that will be ok by you

I got my issues
I get that, but so do you
That's not an excuse to hide
Behind my ugly pride
How was it so easy,
So **** easy for me to lie?
When you gave me your heart, your trust
I just wasted your time

I broke your promise, now you don't know
What was real or a lie
There's no coming back from this
I did what I did
And I gotta live with it

I called you crazy
But I made you feel this way
You gave me so much, it was enough
All I did was take
Messed with your head, I made my bed
Now in it I lay
I’m all alone, ignoring my phone
I’ve got nothing to say

So tired of trying and trying
While I was denying
That I never lied
And now I’ve gone in hiding
I can't even try to fix
What I did
I ripped you to pieces
Yet I’m the one speechless
Now my nights are sleepless
'Cause you saw my weakness

There's no coming back from this
I did what I did
Now I gotta live with it
Bye

When I say I love you more
I don’t mean more than you love me
I mean I love you more than all the bad days ahead of us
I love you more than any fight we could ever have
I love you more than any break up
I love you more than any obstacle that try and get in between us
I love you with all my heart

i wonder if you wonder about me
like maybe you saw something today that reminded you of me
or you heard my name
or you just really miss me or my voice or my smile
i just wonder if you wonder about me

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we were still together
Cause this love is dream and it’s hard not to sleep when you’re falling in love so fast
Do you believe in second chances
And that we all make mistakes
Sorry for my human nature
I will try to change
Distance got the best of us
To far to touch your skin
Forgot the way you taste on my lips
Where do I begin

— The End —
