You know it's unfair that I am here, and you are there I feel short in the exchange, I show you mine you walk away I'm wearing mine out on my sleeve, you're wearing yours where I can't see But I'll remember your face for years to come And wonder what you thought about when you got home Honesty is like a kiss on the lips Come closer, and I'll tell you exactly how it is And I'm barely breathing, I'm moving ahead But if I see you smile, it's gonna knock me dead I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover From whatever drug you used to put me under I don't believe in love at first sight I don't believe in love at first sight It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see I let my mind get turned inside out Just to see what the kids were laughing about And it wasn't worth understanding something I could've gone my whole life not knowing You know what they say about curiosity That murderer had his chokehold on me I ran away without turning back But every now and then I want what I can't have I'm still thinking of a man from years ago Eyes open wide in the front row Dark features, leaning on the door frame I would've sold my soul to know his first name I don't believe in love at first sight I don't believe in love at first sight I don't believe in love at first sight Maybe I would if you looked at me right
