Since Then

Since the day I've liked you,
You've changed me;
You make me do things better,
Make me act different
Sayin' things I usually won't

Since then,
You've made me more academic,
Doing my best, I hoped you'd notice

Since then,
I try to act more mature,
More self-consious

Since then,
I say how much I love you,
Saying that I'd do anything for you

Since you've known I liked you,
I always knew you'd come through to harm me
Whenever I deserved it
If I needed someone to make me clam up and stare at something blankly,
You were the one who did it.
When you talk so meanly,
That's what made me stop.
And since you've realized I've stopped,
I get shoved further and further away from you.
I know you hope that I won't come back
And one day, you'll achieve what you've wanted,
Cause baby I give in.
