than look into your eyes, and not know what to say.
I'd sit by the bench, at the end of it. under the lamppost, thinking about you.
than for you to sit beside me and put your arm around me.
and for every tissue paper I find, I would fill it with my love,
and let it float away with the wind, and pray you would catch it. somehow.
I am nothing but a fool when it comes to love.
I haven't had the courage to say yes,
and always turn my heel.
I am scared to know whether it is real,
and even if it is,
I know I will make a fool out of love.
I'd rather wake up in the morning and think about you,
than for you to be on the phone all night
I'd rather listen to a happy tune,
than for you to sing a love song outside my window
and I would write a dozen love quotes on post-its,
and stick it all over the street, hoping you'll chance by it one day.
I am nothing but a fool when it comes to love,
I don't know the right way to say I do
and always shrug my shoulders
because if I say yes, I know for sure
I'd make a fool out of love.
