Why are you looking at me?
With eyes so bright I can't even think
And a smile that is slowly drowning me
Do you know what you're doing?
When you grab my hand under the table
When you rest your head on my shoulder
My self control is tumbling down as fast as it is able
So I grab your arm, pretend I'm not growing colder
And your laugh sounds like the perfect melody
With you, I don't want to see
Or even think
You're like a drug and I am so numb
To the world around us
The only thing I see is you
Glimmering in the sunlight's hue
All I see is you
Lost in my web of lies
I'll stay there if it keeps us alive
I could never move on
My heart is already gone
With you, I feel drugged
I'm dancing in a dream, on a silver screen
That features you and me
You're so perfect I don't want to think
Can we not just be?
And I know I'm broken and no one would want me
And I know you don't want the same we
And I know, it's been planted in my heart
The facts are tearing me apart
So come closer before I cry
This can't be over
Let me lose myself in you one last time
