I would never startle the fawn

with my eager affection

Overstay my welcome

Die for attention

But my heart might

I would never spill a drop

Or dance with two left feet

And I would never lose my temper

Or forfeit a good night's sleep

No, but my heart might

With all of my might

I am trying not to love you

But with all of my might I already do

I'm keeping my hands in my pockets

And my heart off my sleeve

Because when you love with the numbers

The words sound so weak

I would never gawk

at the grace of your hands

As they push your point across

Or kiss your neck midconversation

I would never be so obvious

No, but my heart might

My heart might

And I would never be demanding

Or at a loss for words

And I would never drive unsafely

Or make any wrong turns

No, but my heart might

My heart might

With all of my might

I am trying not to love you

But with all of my might I already do

I'm keeping my hands in my pockets

And my heart off my sleeve

Because when you love with the numbers

The words sound so weak



I would never startle the fawn

with my eager affection

Overstay my welcome

Die for attention

But my heart might

My heart might
