The things I feel around you
I've never felt around anybody else
Like I want to rip out my heart
And put it in a jar on the shelf

Or like I wanna keep my heart
And hold on to this feeling
I can't figure out which one
And so I can't begin the heeling

Yes I liked you
But I know I loved "us"
And yes we both had
The same feeling of trust

But what we didn't have
Was "nothing but happy times"
And the pain that I felt
Fails to be expressed in this rhyme

So we flared and faded
Like the setting summer sun
Then got back together
As if the battle we won

But we fell back apart
And both seemed too mad
But what I want most of all now
Is exactly what we had

So how do I get it back
That understanding we shared
Why is it that when I'm around
I'm suppose to act as if I don't care

The one thing I learned
Is that teens don't last forever
So the love I try to leave
But the memories I treasure
