Here We Go Again

You said you could be anybody and I denied it so
But now I find myself experiencing it anew
Terrified when he is late that something isn't right
Nervous about those interactions when it's just us two

Having subtle dreams with a romantic undertone
Distracted to the point where I walk into a wall
Dreaming of what would happen if he were into me
Jealous when he interacts with anyone at all

Messaging him daily when I know that I should stop
Telling him my secrets, and learning how he'll think
Gaining all his trust through emotional intimacy
Not crossing the line, but living at the brink

Once again I failed to see
The truth behind the lies
Your words echo repeatedly
The reality I so despise

I may be different now
But the situation is the same
I guess it never had to be you
I guess I never left the game
