It’s Not That I Like You

Stop looking at me! Geez… it’s not like I’m waiting for you or anything… I saw you talking to her today — Whatever My heart went boom but my mouth said, go away! I roll my eyes, pretend I don’t care But every time you smile, it’s so unfair I cross my arms, turn my head, stomp my feet Why does your stupid face make my heart skip a beat? I tell myself, don’t you dare fall again But your laugh pulls me right back in It’s not that I like you… baka! I just thought your hair looked kinda… — Okay, whatever! Don’t get the wrong idea now, okay? But maybe… maybe… you could stay? I brought you lunch But don’t think too much! It’s not a big deal… I just had a hunch! I say “gross!” when you thank me so sweet But inside I’m dancing, can’t feel my feet I push you away, then pull you close again Why does this game always feel like a win? I tell my friends it’s all just a joke But one touch and I start to choke It’s not that I like you… baka! I just thought your smile was kinda… — Forget it! Don’t start thinking I’m acting strange I just get cold when you’re out of range I write your name in my notebook, then scribble it out My heart screams your name when my mouth starts to shout Leave me alone! — Don’t go! I hate you! — Love you so! My cheeks are red, I’m losing my mind Why can’t I just say what’s inside? Guess… maybe… if you hold me tight… I might not fight… tonight I say “go away!” but my hands still shake Why do you make my stupid heart ache? It’s not that I like you… baka! Okay fine! Maybe I do, a little… or a lot! But if you laugh, I’ll kick you, you know! Now hurry up… before I let it show Fine… maybe I’ll say it… one day But today… just stay this way Don’t move, don’t speak, just be here Dummy… I like you, can’t you hear?
