When You Can't See It

The magic is only there when no one can see it
because
I love you with my heart and soul.
But, why you of all people? Why do
I need to show you a lot more affection.
Do you deserve it though?
I feel like I should be meaner to you,
most of the time.
It's not that you're not sweet,
It's just that we haven't known each other that long.
Five months, I mean
don't get me wrong,
Maybe I'm seeing things...backwards
don't get me wrong,
Five months, I mean
it's just that we haven't known each other that long.
It's not that you're not sweet,
most of the time.
I feel like I should be meaner to you,
Do you deserve it though?
I need to show you a lot more affection.
But why you of all people? Why do
I love you with my heart and soul.
Because
The magic is only there when no one can see it
