Second Thoughts
Second Thoughts by Kenny Davis
I find my feelings for you, I am having second thoughts
My many battles with my emotions are among the hardest I have fought
The games and mixed signals, enough to throw the C.I.A. off
All of the tests and reading of minds, leads me to find out that I am better off
Words thought to be once dripping with passion
Said to have come from a love that was thought to be everlasting
Little did I know that I was fooling myself
Into thinking it was love, when it was something else
Wearing my heart on my sleeve, I jumped in head first
Not only getting my heart broken in the process, not only it bled, it bursts
Little did I know, the one who put my heart through the stress
Didn't take time to pick up the pieces or clean up the mess
Saying one thing, doing another, forcing me to think again
Forcing me to look at someone I knew twice, forcing me to blink again
Maybe it was all in my head, just my imagination
Maybe it wasn't love after all, just merely an infatuation
Maybe I had it all wrong, just a misunderstanding
Maybe I was just too naive, or maybe a little too demanding
Shouldn't have ignored my instincts, should have followed my gut
Now we're both in too deep and I find myself stuck
Do you love me? I guess, perhaps, maybe so
If I have to question if you do at all, then answer is no
If you showed a love, of one that's to last
Then you wouldn't have to say a word and I wouldn't have to ask
If there was love in your actions, show me some sign
There would be no questions or concerns, no doubt in my mind
How you can lie to my face, when I look into your eyes
It is this difference between your actions and your words that forces me to think twice
