I Want

This can't be.
It's just not true.
I should have seen it coming
But I never knew.

You snuck up
On my heart.
I never knew it happened
But it got its start.

I don't need this.
No more pain.
I have to stop this now
Or I'll go insane.
I don't need a man.
That much, I know is true.
I don't want to get hurt
But I want you.

I can't believe
I'm in this deep.
I don't want to sew
Seeds I can't reap.

I go weak
When you smile.
It makes me forget
The world for a while.

I can't deal with it,
All my pain.
This has to stop now,
Before I go insane.
I don't need a man.
I know that much is true.
I don't want to get hurt
But I want to be with you.

How can I keep
My emotions in check
When you're right by me,
Almost breathing down my neck?

I've been hurt before
By some other guys
But maybe you'll be the one
To open up my eyes.

Still, I am afraid
Of the things that may come.
I wish someone would see
That all I want is love.

So no more hurt to deal with,
Enough with all the pain.
It's all going to stop now
And I won't go insane.
Maybe it's good to have a man.
I don't know if that is true.
I just hope I don't get hurt
For choosing to love you.
