Staplegunned
You wanted to kiss me
I saw it in your eyes
Both times that it almost happened
You shoved it all back inside
I wanted you to kiss me
I wanted that so bad
We were so close
But still so far off
And all I can hear
Is your voice in my ears
Telling me:
"You can tell everything by the way you get kissed"
I had so much to say that night
So much more I couldn't
But when our lips brushed against each others
It was o so apparent
We both knew we shouldn't
I'm leaving this alone
I'm going to walk away
But goddamn in my heart
I really just want to stay
Stay all night
Inside the warmth of your arms
I want to fall asleep with you
And wake up unarmed
I don't feel I have to hide from you
I've never felt I have
I can just be myself
No smoke
No mirrors
You won't love me any less
But no
You don't love me
I shouldn't say that
I know that you don't
But I do know
You wanted to kiss me
As badly as I wanted to kiss you
