I like the way you smile
And the colour of your eyes
The way you are my muse
In the thoughts that I disguise
I like how you pretend
You don’t see the way I stare
And how you keep on talking
As if I weren’t there
I like how you remember
The things I’d like to forget
And how we disagree
On the day when we first met
I like how you stay silent
But never let me talk
As if I were a burden
But I am all you’ve got
And I like how you claim
That meeting me was fate
When deep down we both know
I am the one you hate
