I Must Not Have Noticed (Maybe I Didn'T Want To)

(You have stolen my heart again) I don’t know how it happened when I was busy saying goodbye from the last time you left you must have slipped through the back door with that smile of yours (oh that smile) I must not have noticed. Maybe I didn’t want to. Because I know It’s all part of that game we play I chase, you run you chase, I run And so the minute I turn around you will be gone again (and I will frame your smile and hang it on my wall to gaze at over breakfast.) (and you will tuck my heart in your pocket for safekeeping.)
