"Questions of the Heart"

Was there something you were feeling?
Or was it just a game?
I once was interested in you
Did you at all feel the same?
Did your heart really pound?
Did your pulse really race?
Was that a blush i saw
When we first talked face to face?
Did you get nervous?
Were you feeling shy?
What was going on
When you'd look into my eyes?
Did you want to approach me?
Was something holding you back?
Did i possess the necessary qualities
Or was there something i lacked?
Were your friends helping?
Were they telling you what to do?
Were you listening to your heart
To see if your feelings were really true?
I know you had some interest
It was so obvious in the way you'd stare
I just don't understand, dear lady
Why did your gaze turned into a glare
Was it something I did?
That prevented our beautiful bond?
I'd give almost anything I have
To find out why the interest is gone
I am still totally blown away
This confusion has me all tied in knots
I feel like a fish out of water
left to die after it is caught
I felt so good because of you
Our eyes would play the game
Now we are like strangers again
Things will never be the same
I'll go to my grave without knowing
The reason why you said goodbye
It will forever be an enigma
Just why your interest in me died
