you haven't changed me, but i've changed because of you
because there was a time when i'd have let you sweep me off my feet, call me yours, dance to the same beat
but as i lay here and try to recall how i once felt, i feel separate from my own mind
i told myself it was supposed to be you;
luck, or fate, as i'd once say, would be on our side and we'd end up in eighth period chemistry laughing til we cried
but i know now that my dreams of a pretty prom dress i'll never wear can be no more; my feelings once held for you are ones i'll never share
so even if that night i once so desperately wanted us to spend hand in hand goes awry at least i know i have enough strength to never let you see me cry.
