Minute after minute, day after day
Hour after hour, night after night
I play over in my head everything you say
Trying my hardest, with all of my might
To decode the meanings behind our conversations
When we're together you talk so soft and so kind
But on the phone you joke, like to you, I mean nothing at all
How do I know if you're just playing with my mind?
Now, sitting next to you, you say everything I want to hear
Why do you do it? Is it so I'll give you all that you desire?
Your deep eyes looking at me so sweetly and you pulling me oh, so near
All at once, making me feel as if you really do care
On the phone, it's a whole other story
You're short and you're brief, like you're trying to get rid of me
You're someone I don't know, joking, acting like $ex is all that matters
It's as if friends-nothing more-is all we are and ever will be
I swear to myself, next time I see you, it will be different
No more kissing, holding, and caressing-the way couples act
We'll sit and talk like "just friends" are supposed to do
With all of my mind, I make this one solemn pact
Driving away from my house, I'm so confident and so sure
This time, my heart will not fall into your clever trap
You can try and try your hardest, but me you will not lure
At least until I see your familiar face once again...
...Maybe just a hello embrace is OK
...It can't hurt for you to hold my hand as we silently sit here
Please don't put your arm around me, OK just this once
Please don't gently kiss me and whisper in my ear
I let my guard down just a bit and now, here we lay
Help me to see and understand the feelings in your eyes
Please take me to your heart, let me see, lead the way
Now, you let your guard down and tell me how you feel
I promise that I will be gentle and never hurt you
You can trust me, you need not be scared
Let me show you that I care, and all that love can do
If you want none of that, you gotta let me know
So I can get over you and quickly be on my way
Please, I ask you to let me go if you do not care
You can't keep me here guessing every single day
Wondering what I mean to you and what "we" really are
