I turn away when you look at me,
Scared that you’ll see how I feel,
Written so clearly in my eyes,
Like you used to do,

I put myself on the line once before,
You let me slip through your fingers,
You turned your back on me,
And decided you wanted her,

But now that she’s moved on,
What am I supposed to do?
The feelings I have for you,
Have always been the same,

I can’t make them go away,
Because in my heart you still remain,
So this time you’re doing the chasing,
And I’m the one that keeps running,

I don’t need to hurt,
I don’t need your pity,
I want it to be like it used to,
I’m sick of crying,

So scared of being hurt,
Ashamed that I still feel things for you,
That I once denied so vigorously,
But what if you haven’t changed?

What if I’m left alone again,
With only myself to blame.
