I used to get nervous around you
My heart would skip a beat
My palms would sweat
An uncontrollable shaking of my feet

Your laugh would ring in my ears
I would get lost in your stare
When you kissed me time would stop
With you, I had no cares

You used to say you’d love me forever
And I would surely agree
But what changed between us
What brought along this misery

The spot where you should be
Is empty but that emptiness follows me

I look at my hand
Your fingers aren’t interlaced
But when I close my eyes
I can still see your face

My heart is filled with love
Love that’s only for you
But my brain was selfish
And told me I had to choose

Confusion filled my mind
I didn't know what to do
I guess I was bored
And wanted to try something new

But now that I’ve grown, I've realized
That your love, is the only love I’ve ever known
