Once i was the keeper of a secret surprise, but now it's gone away.
Every time you look into the darks of my eyes, i always look away.
'cause in my mind you don't know where i live,
But one day your hand will be on my door and you'll give it a twist.
And my heart will stop!
And i'll lay where i stood,
And i hope that you
Dialed the ambulance as fast as you could.
Of course you are a winner and the trump of the town
But all nonsense aside,
I'll always be the way that you remember me now,
The way that you remember best.
'cause in my mind you don't know where i live,
But one day your hand will be on my door and you'll give it a twist.
And my heart will stop!
And i'll lay where i stood,
And i hope that you
Dialed the ambulance as fast as you could, as fast as you should.
