When your lips curl into that smile
Or your cheeky grin appears
When you hide your blushing face--
Sometimes I think I love you.

When your lovely eyes light up
Or they stare off in that thoughtful way
When they smile all by themselves--
Sometimes I think I love you.

When you speak with that funny accent
Or you say my name with that lilt
When you talk to your cat that way--
Sometimes I think I love you.

When you make those silly faces
Or you tell a joke just to see me laugh
When you say everything will be okay--
Sometimes I think I love you.

Holding your heart
In the palm of my hand.
What do I do now?

Look at it sparkle;
I wish I could keep it.
Why did you give it to me?

If I keep I'll **** it,
If I give it back it breaks.
So what do I do now?

Take it back yourself--
Please? It's the only way.
Why did you give it to me?
I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen.

They said to watch my step.
They said don't fall.
No one told me
To keep others from falling.

They said to be on guard.
They said, “Stay in your tower.”
No one told me
That others don't have towers.

They said don't get invested.
They said don't fall in love.
No one told me
To keep others from loving me.

They said heartbreak hurts.
They described the feeling.
No one told me
What it feels like to cause a broken heart.
Breaking my own heart was hard enough--why do I have to break yours too?

Got all these thoughts inside my head
And you're the only one who understands.
Why do we have to be apart?

Feels like I'm living on a ferris wheel
My world is spinning all around me.
Why is this so hard?

I'm trying really hard to be sensible
But the stars seem just out of my grasp.
It's driving me crazy.

I tell myself to just move on and forget
But your voice won't get out of my head.
Am I actually complaining?

2000 miles, dear, how do we fix that?
And everyone keeps telling me to stop.
I can't see the end here.

All I know is that I love you.
All I know is that I am willing to wait.
Is that enough?

Why did you fall in love with me?
Why did you make me love you?
What do we do now?
Is it real? Or is it just my fantasies?

You wear your heart on your sleeve
And it's so lovely to look at--
I just couldn't keep my hands behind my back.

My heart is locked up in a tower
And I thought I had the only key--
Are you used to walking through walls?

I chased my heart back down;
It's back in its tower now.
But here I still stand with yours in my hands.

I find I'm afraid to give it back--
Your heart is too fragile for a tower,
And I can't cause the death of such a beautiful thing.

— The End —
