Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've lost my cool, I'm not sure how to act
Not even sure how I can keep my pride intact
Well, I don't know if this is it but can't you see?
No, I'm not falling for you, so please have mercy on me
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not romantic, I swear
I'm not gasping for air
I want you to be here, but please don't come near
'Cause even though I'm pretty sure my head's exploding
I'm not ready for hand holding
It's not love, I swear
It might be closer to despair
[Instrumental]
No, I don't want want you to teach me how to dance
Get your heart away from me, you'll put me into a trance
And even though I think about you day and night
I'm not sure if this whole love thing sounds quite right
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not romantic, I swear
I'm not gasping for air
I want you to be here, but please don't come near me
'Cause even though I'm pretty sure my head's exploding
I'm not ready for hand holding
It's not love, I swear
It might be closer to despair
[Instrumental]
'Cause even though I'm pretty sure my head's exploding
I'm not ready for hand holding
It's not love, I swear
It might be closer to despair
