Of course I’m happy you’re back around
I’m thankful this time you never want to leave
But baby you’ve awaken past feelings I thought I was over, yeah
I’ll admit with these I’ve been struggling

How long can I pretend that I’m not okay
How long can I hold back these words that I refuse to say
It’s only harder because you know the reason why

Call it frustrating but maybe I like the pain
Deep down knowing I’m the only one to blame
Cause I blew a chance back then I didn’t know I had
Convinced myself you’d never want me
Oh but baby now I know you don’t feel the same
So as I watch this rose in my hand wither away
I’ll try my best to forget the feeling
The feeling I get when I hear your name

Don’t get me wrong you still mean the world to me
You’ll always be my favorite and best friend
It’s just I wish you felt the same way that I do girl
Because there’s no one like you out there in the end

How long can I pretend that I’m not okay
How long can I hold back these words that I refuse to say
It’s only harder because you know the reason why

Call it frustrating but maybe I like the pain
Deep down knowing I’m the only one to blame
Cause I blew a chance back then I didn’t know I had
Convinced myself you’d never want me
Oh but baby now I know you don’t feel the same
So as I watch this rose in my hand wither away
I’ll try my best to forget the feeling
The feeling I get when I hear your name

The last thing I want to do is ruin your happiness
The last thing I want to do is break your heart
Oh but honey this stress is starting to get to me
I’m strong but I’m debating how long I can hold on

Call it frustrating but maybe I like the pain
Deep down knowing I’m the only one to blame
Cause I blew a chance back then I didn’t know I had
Convinced myself you’d never want me
Oh but baby now I know you don’t feel the same
So as I watch this rose in my hand wither away
I’ll try my best to forget the feeling
The feeling I get when I hear your name
