By the way

OK and by the way
I want to say that I think you're great, and
I know what people say
I'm a heartbreaker, it's just my way

But you know how those rumours last
Always judged by what's in your past
But they're not true, that wasn't you

I want you, could it be that simple
I've tried all this before
Always thinking this one
This place, this dream, so sure
And I've often wondered
About what's on your mind
Thought I read your answer
Inside your shining eyes

It's you and by the way
I've never been this happy before you
It's normally not my way
But I get out the words I adore you

I look at you, your eyes are wet
You tell me you're not ready yet
To give it all, feel my heart fall

I want you, to me it's that simple
But you want to hold back
And it makes my whole world
Crash down, just feel so black
I remember wondering
About what's on your mind
But it seems your answer's
To just leave me behind

'Cos I want you, to me it's that simple
But you want to hold back
And it makes my whole world
Crash down, just feel so black
I remember wondering
About what's on your mind
It seems I was fooled by
What lies behind your eyes
