You can bury your feelings 6 feet
But they're never dead.
You can also say it wasn't your heart.
It was all just in your head.
Once you've had that feeling
It doesn't ever go away.
It's a feeling so powerful,
That will always stay.
It lingers.
It doesn't matter how long it's been.
You think you're over it
Until you see their face again.
Unexpectedly, the feeling comes back
And it takes my breath.
Having that want and desire,
Leaves a pain in my chest.
As much as I've tried
And wanted to forget,
Something keeps me hanging on.
I don't want to lose you just yet.
I wanted to talk myself out of it,
And I still keep trying to.
Because if I keep doing this,
I'll try something I shouldn't do.
I've struggled to let you go
But I knew deep down inside
That me saying "I never loved you"
Was nothing but a lie.
