Everyone Tells Me

Everyone tells me to just give up,
Move on if you're so out of reach.
But it's not just a case of wanting what I can't have,
It's cause you're everything I never thought could exist.
I don't care if there are a thousand other guys out there,
Because they could never be like you,
You make the moon sing songs and the stars shine bright.
Maybe I'm being a star struck fool,
Cause all I wanna do is have you hold me tight.

I don't understand it myself,
Why I'm constantly putting me down,
Cause I used to be so confident,
But somehow I get insecure when you're around.
It's so hard to explain to someone else,
The way you make me feel.
But though I know this may sound insane,
I think these feelings might be real.

Everyone tells me to just give up,
Let go and move on from this,
But though I've never been a girly-girl,
All I dream about is a kiss
From you and everything in this world
Would be perfect and so incredibly
Beautiful. Just like you.

I love that little secret smile you have,
And the way you wink at me from across the room.
The way you know just when to tell me
A silly joke and the way you pause mid-step
To laugh at something I just said.
I love the way you make me feel important,
The way I can be me around you.
The way everything in the universe just falls into place
Whenever you walk, talk, smile with me.

Everyone tells me to just move on,
Asks if you're really all that great.
But how can I explain perfection to them,
Cause you're everything I want and maybe more.
I love your witty answers,
Your beautiful words and heartfelt apologies.
The way your eyes shine with kindness and
The way you treat everyone with equal respect.
Though it hurts me to know that I can never be
The girl of your dreams like she,
I just can't seem to move away from you.

And I don't understand all this myself.
Why I'm constantly putting myself down.
Cause I used to be so confident,
Now, I feel just like a clown.
Smiling on the outside,
But I just pretend,
Cause inside I'm hurting,
Though why, no one will ever understand.
