Hate
He hated her.
He had hated her every day since she had kicked his but at basketball for the first time.
He didn't hate her because of it.
He didn't hate her because of the way she enjoyed smashing his oversized ego.
In fact it was nothing of the sort.
I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary fever
The moon is our deceiver that will leave you running blind
He hated her because of the way every mean comment that left her perfect lips smashed something inside him.
Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you
She had shown him he had a heart by breaking it.
Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this is just a beautiful illusion, a case of the confusion, between love and desire
He hated her because he could never hate her.
Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love
He hated her because she was the only girl who he could ever love and the only girl he could never have.
When the flame burns out
And fine'ly settles down
And you'd forget I ever came around
She was leaving. This was the end. In a few months he'd be nothing but a bitter memory. And he would never get to say goodbye. No, he corrected, that was of his own doing, because the great Logan Reese was afraid to face the only girl he couldn't live without.
Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you
He pulled out a magazine and tried to read as she stared out the window crying as the car pulled away from everything she knew and loved.
I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind
