Bu-dum, bu-dum,
My heart beats slow and steady
I think someday I might be ready
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
But I’m really not and you always knew
That it would take a while for me to realize I loved you too
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
You told me you’d wait on me forever
I took it as a convenience, a common endeavor
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
I miss you now more than I ever thought
I guess it paid off because my heart is shot
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
Right to the core your love finally rocked me
A long time coming, but I’m glad I can finally be happy
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
Now my heart rattles and whistles
Because all I can think about are your sweet kisses
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
I just need you to need me like you used to
I don’t know if it’s a lost cause to ask you
Bu-dum, bu-dum,
I’m sorry I didn’t see it before
I didn’t know how much you loved me until my heart hit the floor
And now I know what it’s like
To feel my heart stop beating.
