Not a Big Deal

It's your face I see when I close my eyes
Your lips on my lips fill my dreams
I can feel your hands on my body
Even when I haven't see you for days. 

Let's not make a big deal out of it. 

Your smile brightens my day
And your laugh makes me laugh
All I want to do is be near you
With no one else around.

Let's not make a big deal out of it.

I'm not even sure why you like me
It's not like I'm exactly nice
I'm always teasing you
and calling you names.

Let's not make a big deal out of it.

I know you're just a kid in comparison
Still sweet, innocent, and naive
And girls like me only hurt
Good guys like you.

Let's not make a big deal out of it. 

I will just build you up
Making you fly higher than ever before
Until I pull you down
Tearing out your heart while I rip off your wings.

Let's not make a big deal out of it. 

So I need to keep you at a distance
Making sure that you don't get to close
Because I don't want to destroy you
And make you cold and hard like me. 

So let's not make a big deal out of this.
