i remember when i liked you
liked your lack of words to say
the mystery that came
from knowing nothing about you
i loved your unintentional sex appeal
and your lack of experience
i wanted to hold you and never let go
but instead i became afraid
so i pretended we were wrong
because i couldn't get close to you
what i didn't realize
was that in our way, we were close
we didn't need words to fill the silence
we just needed to be
and i convinced myself
that liking you was wrong
that i'd hurt myself, be vulnerable
so instead i settled
i let myself be taken, and took second best
great people, but never who i wanted
i want you, i still do
but now you have my heart
and he has yours it seems
i'm too late, its too little
i messed up and i know
that i missed my chance
all i want to do now
is have you tell me i was wrong
but you won't, you can't
you just tell me you love me more than him
beg me to see you soon
i try to keep quiet
but i tell you my heart
and i'm feeling wistful now
a twinge of regret of aftertaste
but i wish i could see your face
i wish your blue eyes could look into me
and see something good in me
tell me you love me, say that you need me
please, baby
leave him for me.
