I Don'T Wanna

I don't wanna hurt nobody 
 and i'm trying  
  to keep this to myself
   But this feeling in me
    is rising 
   I don't even know where 
    it came from
    How many times
    Did I see him and not notice?
       How many times was I able
          to just let things be? 
              Before this? 
           So what's wrong now?
           Why can't I stop thinking about him?
                Why did he have to lay this impression on me? 
                  Why did he have to be the reason I lose sleep?
                      and I know that he can't be with me... 
                         I don't wanna hurt a happy home
                            So I keep my distance 
                               I try to show resistance
                               But my heart keeps beating anyway
                                  it's in his hugs 
                                   it's in his glances 
                                      I can't walk away
                                       Even though I should
                                   I thought I had a good heart
                                So why am I constantly wanting them to break up?
