Now I Understand

Oh, when I turned five I got a piece of cake, the corner with the rose. I leaned in close, and I told him that I loved him, and he ran. It made my heart stop. It made my heart stop. Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, even though it feels like it could explode. Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, it beats on and on and on. And in the afternoon I put on my best swimming suit, and spied across the pool at all my friends, but I sat on the steps, in the shallow end alone because my heart stopped. It made my heart stop. I didn't get what I expected. Reached out and I got rejected. I couldn't have it cause I checked it off. Felt sad, I didn't understand it. Why would this happen to me? But my heart, it didn't stop, it beat on and on and on. Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, even though it feels like it could explode. Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, it beats on and on and on.
