I never forgot that spark in my heart
when we met half our lives ago
and I never forgot, I thought it all added up,
even after I let it go
but somehow I forgot how much it stung when you shut me up
I wanted to win you
Look at you now, you're still so fine
and marvel at where we are
Look at me now, everything's turned around,
and I'm encouraged, for a change
and I feel validated, like I've waited all my life
I want you to notice
I want to win you
it must be my fault, I misunderstood what you said
so it must be my fault, if I let it hurt so bad
now I remember how much it burned the first time you shut me up
now I know I was right, the first time I wanted you
I want you to love me
I want to win you
