It just happened one day
I was laying awake
In the middle of the night

I was thinking of you
And I felt something new
A soft feeling inside

It wasn't lust
I had felt it before
This was more you see

This feeling made me scared
But it made me happy as well
For it was unknown

I realized what it was
It was love
Then I cried

If I let myself love you
I will most likely get hurt
Love will let me down

Then I thought
Well what if he does
What if I do

Maybe there's no use fighting it
Maybe I should let myself
Because you can't control love
Love just happens
