Just a boy, you tell me you're just a boy
That you suffer heartache and are no stranger to pain
We have more in common than anyone should allow
Shy, honest, scared of the world and its devices
Never sure if your feelings are right to have
You finally find someone to confide in
I'd like to pretend that the sudden turn around in mood
Had something to do with me
That you suddenly brightened because I was there
To understand, to help you express
You said you'd told me things you'd told no one else
I want to believe that yet I doubt it to be true
I have feelings toward you, strong and painful
But I don't do the things I do because of that
I want to be a good person above all else
I've been hurt too many times, and I think you could tell
Never failing to tell me that I deserve better
And helping me realize not everyone is out to hurt me
Not looking forward to another let down,
Even though I know that's what you'll be
I feel stupid, I feel lame
But you're in my head- you got to me
It sucks that you can say one thing and make me smile
I wish I had that power over you
Calming breaths, late night conversation
I hate that you inadvertently consume my every thought
Try to sleep but sleep won't come
You know you're adored yet your ego is damaged
Because you want someone so badly and you're afraid to let them in
You say you're the same, where's that leave me?
I stupidly tried to get you to understand
That I want nothing more than to be there to help you
At first you resisted, insisted you didn't need me
That I couldn't help you at all because I couldn't know
Finally I'd like to think I broke down your defenses
Doing some good as you poured out your heart to me
You will never see these words
And if you do, probably won't know they're for you
I'd die
Until the day I can forget about you or move on
Maybe it's not as deep as I'm certain it is, I can lie to myself
After all, it'd be easier that way
