The way

The way she looked
When I was staring in her eyes
And I asked if she loved me
For my heart never lies

The look in her eyes
When I asked if she loved me
Made me wonder
If true love could ever be

The way I wondered
What the look in her eyes might mean
Helped me to realize
That this wasn’t the right dream

The way I realized
This was for real
Made me hope
She’d agree to my deal

The way she looked
When I asked her again
Made me feel like
What a mistake it had been

The way she felt
Could not be expressed by words
It was as unstable
As a traveling flock of birds

The way the flock of birds
Looked me in the eye
Then she slapped me
Then stood there to just cry

The way she was scared
Not knowing what to do
Made my life
Seem like nothing was ever true

The way I thought
Love never did exist
Made my target
And what I aimed for I had missed

the way i felt like dieing
In fact I did that day
For I heard some words
While she was crying she did say

The way she said
"We should just be friends"
Made me want to
Go to hell but not heaven

The way I stood there
Just wondering in aw
Made me think
Are happy endings only saw?
