Don't Tell Me

It's Mysterious -
Is It Right To Feel This Way?
Could He Ever Want Me The Same?
If It's All Just One Big Game,
How Long Will I Stick Around?

It's Obvious -
Everyone Can Tell Exactly When
Your Heart Beats Faster Around Them,
Their Smile Glows Brighter Than Any Gem,
And Makes Your Head Start To Pound.

It's Terrifying -
There's Always Those Doubts And Fears
That It Might End In Raging Tears,
How It Could Possibly Disappear
But Sometimes It's All Worth It.

It's Exciting -
A Sense Of Sparks Shooting Out,
Weak In The Knees Is What It's About,
This Restless Emotion You Can't Go On Without,
Flaming Passions That Are Hard To Admit.

It's Consuming -
Like Your Life's One Big Daydream
With No End To The Madness, It Seems.
The Constant Thoughts Taunt You To Scream,
Yet You Live For Them Every Day.

It's Tiring -
You Can't Help Feeling Sick,
When The Weight Settles In Like A Brick.
And While It Might Not Pass So Quick,
It's Easier To Learn Love This Way.

Don't Tell Me How To Feel,
Don't Tell Me You Know It All.
Because I Want To Find Out For Myself,
Just What Is At The Bottom Of This Fall.
