You Had Me When You Smiled

I was so afraid that you would hate me
if I were to let you in, and you would see
this heart that solely beats for you
these feelings I have, they're so true
My fears conquered, I know you found out
and my love for you, I wanted to shout
to scream the words I only thought before
that it was you, whom I deeply adore
I gave way to trust and let you see
you had opened my eyes and set me free
Perfection was when I looked at you
you gave me that smile and I fell through
You had me from that moment, and I don't regret
this love, this forbidden secret that I kept
I shared it because you earned my trust
and I know that I love you- it's not lust
for love is when you accept another's flaws
and I accept you as you are, without a cause
I won't say forever, because I know forever lies
But I always forget when I look into your eyes
I guess I should say, before you have to go
because I really think that you should know
You have my heart, to protect or to break
I trust you, and this heart you can take
And I've already said, but it really is true
I know in my longing heart that I do love you
