as i lay dying

As I lay dying On this tennis court My heart in my hands My thoughts on the stands Tears starting to form And I realize it's over But I still want you Still want your love And affection, and jokes And your touch, and sarcasm The things that made me melt Made me believe that I knew What love really is But now I lay here On this tennis court At two in the morning And I realize that I didn't try hard enough I didn't call enough Didn't show you off Never told the whole world about you Like I should have And now it has come back To bite me where the sun doesn't shine Because as every person Who falls in love finds out At some point in their life Love isn't the feeling In your heart when you find someone special It's the feeling in your veins When that person you fell in love with Is no longer a drug that you can fill your blood with
