I can't seem to learn
When to love and
When to withdraw
Can't develop a shield
To defend myself
Against your wits and charm
So like the fool i am
I fall hard for you
A heartless jerk
Who doesn't seem to care
You can't even tell
When I'm desperate for
Your attention
Just a call
Just a text message
A way to let my stupid self
Believe you care
And that i matter to you
As much as you matter to me
Sometimes i tell myself that
I'm over you and
I'm moving on
But whenever you reappear
I want to jump up and down
And squeal as loud as possible
Because of glee
And it lies to my
Ever-breaking heart
That you care
And sooths me enough
To make me sleep
Without a damp pillow
Wet with my tears
