You know how I feel,
I'm pretty sure you do,
It’s not that you lead me on,
I’m just a lovesick fool.
I try every day,
To talk myself out of you,
But love from no one is so much worse,
Than unrequited from you.
The truth is I don't want anybody else,
I wanted to get you, I'll get you,
But I keep seeing you around,
The fact is I don't see anybody else,
I wanna forget about, forget about,
But I keep seeing you around,
It's hurting me now.
And I said to you what I said to everybody else,
Can we make a go of it?
Can we make a start of it?
And you gave to me what I took from everybody else,
Got a broken heart from it,
Lost my faith in love with it.
Now it's been two weeks,
And I've not heard a thing.
All the marks that you made will fade,
But the thrill will remain.
It’s not that you don’t know I’m alive,
You’ve made it clear that you do,
It’s just that maybe I want you more,
Than I could expect from you.
The truth is I don't want anybody else,
I wanted to get you, I'll get you,
But I keep seeing you around,
The fact is I don't see anybody else,
I wanna forget about, forget about,
But I keep seeing you around,
It's hurting me now.
And I said to you what I said to everybody else,
Can we make a go of it?
Can we make a start of it?
And you gave to me what I took from everybody else,
Got a broken heart from it,
Lost my faith in love with it.
You're just like everybody else.
You're just like everybody else.
