Lyrics
Try to read you like an open book
always looks me in the eye
whenever we talk whenever she stares
well it hurts me when she cries at all
guess I'll try to listen closely
whenever she calls I answer her name
she might be better off without me
Its time that I held my head up high
stop asking questions don' ask why
there's never been an answer to it all
and if all this love wont take its place
the hole in my heart stays empty space
I may be trusted but maybe not dependable
if I cant be the best friend
were better disconnected
and I love her just because
and she loves me just because
and I love her just because
She'll put a spell on you
put a spell on me
whenever she talks I cant help but stare
well she twists her lips and shrugs me off
guess I wasn't listening closely
she gives me her heart and Im not always there
she might be better off without me
Waiting wanting a sign
so I can be sure that I'll make up my mind
