Its True, Im In Love With You

you know it's true.
how couldn’t you notice?
from the way i looked at you.
tried so hard to make my eyes sing to you,
to reach from my chair across the room,
and shake your shoulders saying,
can't you see i'm in love with you?

but it’s him, isn't it.
he took my face and replaced it with something new.
he took what wasn't mine and threw it up to the moon,
farther, farther, farther 
until getting it back
means losing myself too.
