How it all Works


It's funny how it all works I had it all planned out We broke up I moved on I focused on myself and no one else I bumped into a few strays here and there But deep inside I knew they were going nowhere I had it good I had it planned Then I tripped on a pearl underneath the sand She was a surprise From the moment we locked eyes I knew she was someone I could not deny My heart ached for her My body craved her My thoughts the wondered It was eight months ago I vowed not to fall for a single soul but this girl you see Is someone special she I choose not to let go Now weeks till I must bid her adu I think to myself, Damn I don't want to leave you The thoughts that haunt me I fear to say Will you still want me from far away I know inside I'm willing to try But I won't hold you if you deny Of course I'll fight For her I must To me this is something deeper than lust My heart it beats the rythme that is her Her Beauty, her smarts, her simple existence All of which I don't want to live without Don't try to tell me it's a phase She will not be easily erased For every thought that I think She's the first, the last before I go to sleep So tell me love what is it you feel Do you see this being something real It's okay don't be afraid Speak to me the truth I won't turn the other way Know I'll be here If we choose to part Just know you've gained a piece of my heart Now see how funny it is How it all works I wanted no one Now all I want is her
