I've tried to force myself
to not look your way
or be somewhere
I know you'll be
maybe it's the fear
that we won't speak then
maybe it's the fear
that I'll realise everything
that I fell for
and I'll fall even more so
and I can't let that happen

but I want you back
at least in my life
I want to hear your laugh again
and see a smile
instead of distance

I silently promised you
I wouldn't do anything
no pulling you close and an eager kiss
not anymore
I've always made you
make every first move
a safety policy of mine
but it didn't matter in the end
did it?

my friends tell me
that you're staring at me
but anytime I've looked
I never meet your eyes
but when I catch you
there's eye contact for a second
as hard as I try not to
you always catch my eye
you always have Devil
I don't think that's gonna change
