Simply In Love
I’m not thinking with my mind
I’m only using my heart
When I knew it was fooling me all along
Right from the start
I foolishly thought it would last
Now it’s a vision of my past
Now I’m stuck in the present
With an unwanted present
Confused and upset
With a lesson I’m not ready to learn yet
Caught in the middle
Between a decision and a mistake
I gotta make that decision
That I’m not prepared to make
Do I live with it or do I leave it all behind?
Do I let my feelings unwind and take control for themselves?
If I love him
Then I hate myself
For letting it get this far
For allowing him to pull me away from the ones who care
And playing with my heart
I know I have to give it up
But I don’t want us to part
I wanna try and back it up
And begin with a fresh start
If I didn’t know what love was
Then I wouldn’t be feeling this way
I wouldn’t dare trick my self into believing
That first kiss was just a kiss
I know what love is
That’s why I let things reach this height
I knew one day my one true love just might
Open his eyes
Come to his senses
And know I’ll always be here
No matter where he is
Or how far I am
In my heart he’ll always be near
Being in love is like a trig problem
You can solve it but does it really make since
You think you have figured it out only to go through it again
You search high and above for a solution
But it doesn’t come out clear
You keep getting the same answer like your reflection in a mirror
You can’t quite make it out
Your visions kind of blurry
But if you squint your eyes a little
And blink them in a hurry
You think that you see the solution you searched for high and above
Will lead you back to the fact that:
YOUR SIMPLY IN LOVE
