why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me now?
I thought I had dealt with all these feelings,
But having you come back into my life has left me confused
I keep thinking back to the times we had together
Even though they were so long ago
To me it feels like yesterday.
We had so much fun you and me
And then it suddenly ended
And I was left with all these feelings
And I dealt with them the only way I knew how,
I hid and pushed them far away
But now you get hold of me,
Telling me you've been thinking about me,
This isn't fair!
Why do you get to choose when to get hold of me
And wreck my whole life
and turn my feelings upside down.
I so badly want to hear your voice,
See your face
But yet I'm held back.
I'm scared of what I will feel,
I'm with someone new,
You and me can be no-more,
Yet I have these dreams,
Where we pick it up where we left it off
And you carry me off into the sunset.
I'm scared of these feelings
Of what they can do to me,
Of how they can destroy my present life
And I'm scared of you,
And how you going to handle my heart.
