Red Alert

Let me take you back to when I was just eleven Even then I knew what it was like to be in heaven Every time I talked to her she would laugh Everywhere she walked I followed the same path So why would she Why would she Lie to me People kept asking me and I'd given up denying Said she had a crush on this other boy - and I was trying But crushes and love are so far apart As she very well knew deep down in his heart So why would she Why would she Lie to me She never admitted she loved me Couldn't bare to say those precious words She never admitted she loved me The situation was truly absurd My heart on red alert Love equals hurting My heart on red alert Love equals hurting And ever since we said goodbye on that fateful day I've passed up every girl that comes on along my way I've laughed and smiled in all the right places I've seen the beauty and outline of their faces But I always know love just equals hurt So I keep my heart on on red alert Now I sit here all alone thinking what might have been And I still hear her laughing in my dreams, so it seems And I wonder where on earth she is now? Maybe explaining to some poor boy how She must lie She must lie To pass him by She never admitted she loved me Couldn't bare to say those precious words She never admitted she loved me The situation was truly absurd My heart on read alert Love equals hurting My heart on read alert Love equals hurting My heart on read alert Love equals hurting My heart on read alert Love equals hurting
