A theaters heartbreak

I see you over there Staring at the stage like its Broadway I know you're watching her This beautiful, graceful, flexible dancer fly across the stage I know you like her And it hurts me Now, as I see you looking at me from across the room I feel my heart stop My stomach hurt And the thought comes to my brain Why do you talk to all my friends but not me Why don't we talk I finally force myself to make eye contact Nope I cant do it But I feel my body float over there anyways I feel myself come up behind you I decide to make a joke You laugh The next thing I know you're pulling me away from the group You grab my arm but all I feel is the pounding of my heart You show me your new shoes that you're so proud of The we just talk Talk Talk Talk You're gone The spot on my arm is still warm You're talking to her
