Ding, ding! Order in my heart! All rise, all rise! I hereby declare that I am completely innocent Of this ridiculous accusation There is no evidence There is absolutely nothing! Why did I smile when you walked in? That doesn't mean a thing Maybe I was smiling at the sunlight Maybe I was thinking of spring Why did I know your favorite drink? I just happened to remember And if I waited by the school gate That doesn't mean I waited for you I was simply taking the long way home For the seventeenth time this week Exhibit A I remember your birthday Exhibit B I know when you're tired Exhibit C I can recognize your footsteps Before you even come inside But that's just observation! I'm attentive, that's all! So don't you dare call this Don't you dare call this LOVE! OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! My heart is just confused! It only starts racing Whenever I'm near you! OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! My face is simply warm! If I stare at you too long It's because Because OBJECTION! And if I get jealous OBJECTION! When somebody gets close… That's not because I want you! I just-I just DON'T LIKE THEM! Why did I make you lunch again? You always forget to eat I wasn't worried about you! I simply made too much And this little heart I drew It's decoration! Stop looking at it! Why do I know when you're pretending That everything is fine? Why does it bother me so much When sadness hides behind your eyes? Why do I want to fix the things You never ask me to? Why does your happiness Feel like something I have to protect? No, that proves nothing OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! The evidence is weak! My heart just skips a beat Whenever you speak! OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! Don't make me say it twice! If I miss you when you're gone That's just-that's just THE ROOM FEELS TOO QUIET! And if I save your messages And replay them late at night… It's not because I treasure them! I just-I just LIKE THE SOUND! Why do I remember your smile? (Irrelevant!) Why do I know your favorite song? (Coincidence!) Why do I notice every little change? (I'm observant!) Why do I get nervous when you look at me? That's-that's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Why does my chest hurt When you're hurting? Why do I want to stay When everyone else has gone? Why do I feel safe Whenever you're beside me? Why does the thought of losing you... Scare me so much? Maybe I'm scared Maybe that's all it is Because saying “I love you” Means admitting You have a place inside me That I can't simply close And if I let you see it… If I let you see how much you mean to me… You could leave So I'll keep pretending I'll keep arguing I'll keep calling every feeling A coincidence But even if I deny it A thousand times… My heart already knows OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! No, that's a lie (I'm in love) There I said it My heart is guilty Of every charge I remember your laughter I remember your voice I remember every little thing You never thought I'd notice I worry when you're hurting I smile when you're happy And every time I say “I don't care…” I care a little more So OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! I can't say that anymore OBJECTION! I'M NOT IN LOVE! The verdict's already clear I've tried to fight it I've tried to hide it I've tried to bury every word But it's loving you Is the crime I'm accused of then I guess I'm guilty, case closed No more objections No more excuses But don't misunderstand! I'm only saying it once! So listen carefully I… I really I love you! Why does saying that feel so embarrassing?
