LYRICS
First day in the hallway,
I saw you smile.
Forgot my homework.
Forgot to walk.
You said 'Hi',
I said nothing.
My cheeks turned red.
My heart went wild.
You sat beside me.
I dropped my pen.
You picked it up.
I fell again.
I wrote your name,
Behind my book.
Then closed it fast,
When you looked.
I had so much,
I wanted to say.
But 'Hello'
Wouldn't come my way.
Oh, stupid little heart,
Why do you hide?
You love him so much,
But run every time.
Oh, stupid little girl,
Dreaming all night.
He was right there,
You missed every sign.
Maybe love is funny.
Maybe love is blind.
You can hold a whole world,
And still lose your mind.
Rain after school.
One broken umbrella.
You walked beside me.
I wished it forever.
You gave me your jacket.
I gave you a smile.
I wanted to tell you,
Stay for a while.
You asked, 'are you okay?'
I whispered, I'm fine.
My heart screamed,
Please read my eyes.
At lunch I watched you,
You laughed with your friends.
I laughed from far away.
Pretending I'm fine.
I saved your messages.
I replayed your voice.
A simple “Goodnight”
Felt like paradise.
Oh, stupid little heart,
Why do you hide?
You love him so much,
But run every time.
Oh, stupid little girl,
Dreaming all night.
He was right there,
You missed every sign.
Maybe love is funny.
Maybe love is blind.
You can hold the whole world,
And still lose your mind.
Graduation came,
The last bell rang.
Everyone smiled.
I couldn't speak.
You said, Good luck.
I said, You too.
Those two little words
Broke my heart in two.
You walked away.
I watched you go.
So many words
You never knew.
Oh, stupid little heart,
You waited too long.
You turned all your feelings
Into a song.
Oh, stupid little girl,
Still dreaming tonight.
Maybe someday
You'll say it right.
Maybe love is funny.
Maybe love is blind.
Sometimes the one you love
Never knows you're mine.
Years may pass.
Memories stay.
Some loves are spoken.
Some fade away.
And sometimes I wonder...
If I had just said,
Hey, I love you.
Would you have stayed?
