The way I did when I was 12 Lyrics

Trying so hard to get back how I was

I'm trying my best to ignore your dum face

But I feel myself looking into your way

Your hair and your face looking better each day I guess

I feel sometimes you don't like me at all

But when she looks in my eyes-

Maybe I'm just blind

Then she's just walking by and I feel hypnotized

They say "you'll probably cry"

They say "it's more than just kind"

But I can't, I've tried, believe me I've tried

I don't know what to say

I don't know how to act

I feel like I shouldn't, I ask "will it last?"

I know it's all wrong, I feel it inside

"It's not worth it, it's painful" I'm trying alright

But your eyes, they're alright, I guess

But I'll try, so I'll try my best to look at you the way I did when I was twelve

Holding on back to the past confused times

Am I falling for you?

Or am I just amused

But I feel like there's something more than just 'kind'

When she smiles, when she laughs

I guess it is nice

I don't know what to say

I don't know how to act

I am lost, so confused, I ask "is it right?"

I guess it's all wrong, they've all told me that

"Come on open your eyes, you'll see it's a lie"

But what if, she maybe- no, fine I'll try

One more time I guess, oh I'll try

I'll still try my best to look at you the way I did when I was twelve
