YoU Don'T KNow

You keep trying to show that I'm special and I just keep waiting for you to get bored and walk away. YOU DON'T KNOW how many times I've been the one left behind. How my past keeps hindering me from trusting again.

You try to be sweet and show you care and I just brush you off, acting like I'm deaf. YOU DON'T KNOW that you put a smile on my face but I'm too scared to show it. That I've done all that sweet stuff before and just got broken.

You keep telling people you like me but I just keep convincing myself your attention won't stay. YOU DON'T KNOW that I've built a wall around my heart, that I've become so numb that I don't believe things that easy any more.

You act so interested in me and my life but I act like it's normal and treat you like I do any one else. YOU DON'T KNOW that I've gotten too close before and It only ended in tears.

You seem to know just what to say and when to say it but I assume it's coincidence. YOU DON'T KNOW that nobody has ever really been there for me. That I don't want to admit that you've found your way into my life.

I don't know if you should know all this. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE ITS THIS INNOCENCE OF YOURS THAT MY HEART NEEDS TO OPEN UP AGAIN..
