People think too much of me

They think I’m taller than the trees

I shouldn’t feel the need to leave

A life that already seems incomplete

 


Throwing parties just to see you

Hundreds of people, they’ll never be you

I have it all, but I can’t reach you

I’ll take the fall just to meet you

 


Once again, my mind is stuck in the past

Can you see through me, like I’m made of glass

Do you remember me, I’m afraid to ask

All I ever wanted was for this feeling to last

 


You arrived into my life and what I felt was real

When you have it all, that’s hard to feel

No other’s heart did I attempt to steal

This love that I carry is one I can’t conceal

 


You crashed my car and stole my heart

I lost myself, watched you fall apart

So I took the blame, left my fears in the dark

Maybe this is the end, but it felt like a start

 


And now the party’s over, it’s hazy

They once called me obsessed, now I’m just crazy

But I finally reached you, so it doesn’t phase me

Went through every field of flowers to find my Daisy
