They warned me of thugs
Of those that lurk in the street
They said steer clear of drugs
But no one told me of this feat
They never bothered to mention
That the real danger was next to me
That I'd come to feel such tension
This was something they'd never see
What the true advisory should've been
Was to distance myself from your alluring eyes
And your magnificent mischievous grin
And your perfect beauty that gives me butterflies
But I suppose that's just how it works
People don't come with caution signs
And you end up falling for all their quirks
You're eventually on cloud nine
A state of perfect happiness
But life doesn't appear to go that way
All that good fades to fuzziness
And all those things you wanted to say
Everything you left unsaid
Still lingers in the air
'Cause they left long ago but not in your head
Your mind wanders to all the times you have yet to share
Maybe this is just it
Maybe we just weren't meant to be
But I don't understand why we didn't fit
That's something I'll never be able to see
Where did I go wrong?
Why did things come to an end?
You made me feel like I might belong
I just couldn't bring myself to hit send
Would it have made a difference?
If I'd told you how I truly felt?
Because I'd like to know what caused your sufferance
What harm it is I have dealt
All I want is to be back by your side
Standing hand in hand
With our backs to the tide
And our feet in the sand
And though I've come to realize those times have expired
Just know my door is always open for you
You've always been the one I've admired
And I hope someday you'll see that too
