Surprise

You told me you loved me last night
I just kinda looked in your eyes cause I
Didn't know what to say, what to do
So I just kept looking at you
Cause I've seen the girls that proceeded me
So beautiful, so god damn charming
They carried themselves with such grace and poise
So I sit stunned in the white noise

I never stuck around long enough to hear that word
But now you're saying it to me
Baby I don't understand how this works

Cause when I look at your past and I look at those girls
All I see is perfection, they know what they're worth
They made you laugh and smile to your eyes
So it comes as a surprise that I'm
In the same section as them
That you'd even look my way, a 5 surrounded by 10s
I guess I made you laugh that one time
But it comes as a surprise

I have 5 of your sweatshirts at home
They help me feel less alone
When you're not around
Cause I find comfort in your sound
And I wanna say I love you too
But I've seen what love can do
To a family and a home
Maybe I'm better alone

That's why I never stuck around long enough to hear that word
But now you're saying it to me
I wanna understand how this works

Cause when I look at my past
Back in those days
I wondered how love existed
If it caused you to break
I thought that there was nothing right
So it comes as a surprise
When I look at our past
And see how I felt
When I saw you smiling
I thought I would melt
I'd never felt that way in my life
So it comes as a surprise

I don't wanna leave you in the dark
But I'm overprotective with my heart
It's been through the cycle of breaking and healing
All of my life
But if you're the one to break it again
I fear it won't heal this time
I'm putting it all on the line for you

Cause when I look at our past
All the fun times we had
I can't deny boy
I got it bad
You're the one that makes my day bright
You're a welcome surprise
