I lost you
Before I could even get you
I lost you
Before I could even...
Tell what you've done to me,
How you capture my attention
And run around in my mind all day long
How just a glimpse of your eyes on me
Sends shivers down my spine
I don't think you'll ever truly comprehend
Just who you've become in my life
When even I don't get it
No don't get me wrong
You're not to blame, I'm just tryna convince my heart that,...
Even I am not to blame
Must have been some faults in our star alignment
That despite being so close
We're still miles apart
I'm just tryna convince my heart...
That it's not my fault
That whenever I tried to tell you how I feel
My mind would betray me,
I'd be compelled to swallow my words at the very instant
It's not my fault that you couldn't read my eyes
That you couldn't see beyond my kindness, wide genuine smile and kind gestures
You couldn't see the immense love behind all that
It's not your fault
But neither is it mine also,
I'm just tryna convince my heart...
That perhaps we weren't meant to be
That perhaps our paths were just meant to cross
And never be adjacent or head toward the same direction
I'm just tryna convince my heart
That moving on would be best
That it should stop hanging on a thread of hope
That could break at any given moment
And leave it bruised and scarred
I have to convince my heart
That maybe just the like moon
I have to adore and love you a little more from a distant.
It's painful but it's reality
It's sad but it's true
I'm just tryna convince my heart.
That we're only meant to be what we are
And not the fantasy in my mind.
