I Thought I Knew My Heart
I thought I knew love,
I thought I knew my heart,
I thought I knew it was fickle,
Just a childhood crush,
Wasn't worth it.
What got into me,
I'll never know,
Why I decided
To choose somebody to love.
I said I was just making sure,
I didn't do it again-
Fall in love with a jerk.
So I fell in love with a friend.
I've waited a year,
Almost two,
Afraid to tell you,
Afraid of the awkwardness, of rejection,
Afraid it will flee, ruin what we have,
Not allowed to go out,
Know I'm not ready,
Still I love you,
Want you to love me too.
I had more friends,
Before I started hanging with you,
More of acquaintances now,
We barely talk!
Don't know if it's cause,
We don't really connect,
More likely it's cause,
You attract me like a magnet.
You, you, you, you!
That's all my life is these days.
Can't stop thinking about you,
Dream about you,
Cause when I'm with you,
It's like breathing in and out,
So natural and true,
So easy, unthinking.
I don't worry when I'm with you,
Just go with the flow,
See your smile,
See your overjoyed face,
Makes me so happy,
Puts me in my place,
By your side, where I belong.
Guess love isn't so fickle,
Guess I was wrong,
Maybe the right love,
Can last ever so long,
Maybe (my heart cries) we belong together,
Maybe it's destiny we are together.
Or maybe (my brain says) it's just me.
Maybe I was right in the beginning,
Maybe this is just a crush,
Though I think my heart is winning.
