Lyrics
Spent hours getting ready
Putting in a lot of time and effort to prepare oneself.
For the seconds that we'd speak
Anticipating a brief conversation or interaction.
Hair perfect for the moment
Ensuring hair looks perfect for the specific moment.
That you'd turn your back on me
Feeling disappointed as the person turns away.
Arms wrapped around another
Seeing the person with someone else and feeling a resurgence of teenage emotions.
And once again I feel sixteen
Feeling youthful and emotionally affected.
I'm just a friendly face
Being outwardly friendly despite internal feelings.
Faking a smile to my daydream
Putting on a fake smile while lost in a daydream.
How can you ask me why
Questioning why the person is asking for an explanation.
Your words turn into tears in my eyes?
Feeling emotional, with words causing tears.
Does it give you pleasure
Wondering if the person enjoys the knowledge of having control over the singer's feelings.
Knowing I'm a fool for you?
Admitting vulnerability and being in love despite potential hurt.
My cheeks burning red
Feeling embarrassed or flushed with emotion.
I can tell you're so amused
Observing the other person's amusement at the singer's expense.
Don't have the kind of grace
Not possessing the charm to captivate the person.
To leave you spellbound with a wink
Acknowledging having poetic abilities but failing to impress.
Sure, I've got poetry
Feeling overwhelmed and stumbling over words.
But I choke up and then I sink
Succumbing to emotions and feeling defeated.
How can you ask me why
Reiterating the question about why an explanation is sought.
Your words turn into tears in my eyes?
Continuing to be emotionally affected by the words spoken.
Fingers crossed, yet I know deep inside
Remaining hopeful externally while internally acknowledging emotional pain.
My hearts been fun and games all this time
Realizing that love has been treated like a game.
All this time
Highlighting the duration of experiencing these emotions.
