Our journey, a best seller
Our walk, a movie thriller
Our love; eternal
But you lied to me
Yes, you lied to me...

You promised not to fall in love
But each time you stare
I see a glow in your eyes
A desire beyond platonic
Subtly, I prayed you'll say the words

I'm sorry I lied too
When I said "don't fall for me"
I was already lost in you
I knew I was vulnerable
So, I built a wall around me
Culled from the play girl's book

I might have lost you to stereotypes
But it's time to change the narratives
If you are really in love
Just say the words my dear
It's called "Shooting your shot"
