Have You Lost Something?



Look at me, what is it you see?
Don't look too far away.



I've looked at you. I've seen your heart.
Pretending you have played your part.



Laughing, I understand.
Shocking, all the same.



You've spoken to me sharply.
I laugh, to your dismay.




Offended, you look  for someone to blame.




Turning you look at me.
Laughing, I pretend to agree.



Relieved you go on your way...
Strange how you say I offended you.
Funny how you accepted it was true.



Don't worry, we'll depart.
As I turn away, I know that I have stolen your heart.



Confused and confounded, you run away.
Laughing, as your heart leads the way...



Stopping but for a moment I smile.
For I know for you it's been quite awhile...




No words can I say.
You must run away.




Offended you'll be.
But I know it's not me.




The only offense was I saw your heart.
I heard your words, but I saw your heart.



Laughing I know,laughing I'll go.
Your heart it's safely tucked away, just so you know...



I'll laugh, you'll pretend.
Your hearts told on you my friend.



Don't look at me. Can't you see.
I'm not too far away.
