A Little Bit More Than A Personal Jinx

Believe me,
I don't want to write another word for you.
But when I see your face, Nothing can replace -
The nervousness I feel.

Believe me,
I don't like this anymore than you do.
But something in my soul, Won't let me let you go -
Regardless of how much I need to.

And so it seems,
My one-sided feelings, are stronger than the truth.
I'm stuck here, all I want is you,
I can't move 'til you say 'I do'.

Believe me,
I don't want to spare another thought for you.
But when I hear you cry, something inside me -
Cries with empathy.

Believe me,
I wish there were something I could do.
But these feelings persist, and they won't be dismissed.
I guess it is what it is.

And so it seems,
My one-sided feelings, are stronger than the truth.
I'm stuck here, all I want is you,
I can't move 'til you say 'I do'.

I'm paralyzed, and it's all for you.
It's all for you.

Please, believe me,
All you'd have to do is change your mind.
Believe me,
All you'd have to do is change your heart.
Please, Believe me,
'Cause you're the only one
who can
Make
Me
Move.
