I know I'm only kidding myself
Hoping for more than "just a friend"
I've watched this movie several times before
In the ending I always get hurt
I better stop repeating this pattern
It's getting tiresome on my heart
There is no way she could ever feel the same
So why lose my sanity over it
I'll pretend to not care
I'll fake my every smile and blush
Till I make it to the day
It doesn't matter at all
I can't help the lip curl when I see her
Or when my body pulls me like a magnet
Or how my attention isn't on the lecture
But on every single move she makes
This is the start of a torture
When my cheeks burn red
And every thought is about her mind
I want to dive in the oceans wide
But I'm afraid of dipping my feet in the water
I never learned how to swim right
I've already drowned several times
I can't always depend on my last breath
For whose to say I'll survive this one
