Lyrics:

[English]

Don't you notice how

I get quiet when there's no one else around?

Me and you and awkward silence

Don't you dare look at me that way

I don't need reminders of how you don't feel the same

Oh, the burning pain

Listening to you harp on 'bout some new soulmate

"She's so perfect", blah, blah, blah

Oh, how I wish you'll wake up one day

Run to me, confess your love, at least just let me say

That when I talk to you

Oh, Cupid walks right through

And shoots an arrow through my heart

And I sound like a loon

But don't you feel it too?

Confess I loved you from the start

What's a girl to do

Lying on my bed, staring into the blue?

Unrequited, terrifying

Love is driving me a bit insane

Have to get this off my chest, I'm telling you today

That when I talk to you

Oh, Cupid walks right through

And shoots an arrow through my heart

And I sound like a loon

But don't you feel it too?

Confess I loved you from the start

Confess I loved you

Just thinking of you

I know I've loved you from the start
