There's more to me than meets the eye,
Why don't you give me a try?
But if you're gonna leave,
I suggest you leave early,
Cause my heart wouldn't be able to take it
If someone left me AGAIN...
The way my heart keeps breakin.
The way my hands keep shakin.
There are just some things,
That I don't understand...
The way I think of you,
The way I just want to be with you.
And then I keep replaying the memories that
I don't need.
I let you in...
I let you into my life...
And everytime I think of you and I,
I cry...
Every night,
I dream of you,
Askin for forgiveness...
The way my heart keeps breakin.
The way my hands keep shakin.
There are just some things,
That I don't understand...
The way I think of you,
The way I just want to be with you.
And then I keep replaying the memories that
I don't need.
You PROMISED that you,
Would never leave.
You said,
You'd be here till the end...
But I guess,
You can only lie,
You never saw beyond what meets the eye,
And now...
The way my heart keeps breakin.
The way my hands keep shakin.
There are just some things,
That I don't understand...
The way I think of you,
The way I just want to be with you.
And now I keep replaying the memories that
I don't need.
The pain no one can see.
The pain that you caused me...
And it was just a lie...
Do you see just what meets the eye?
Or do you finally see me,
Broken and shattered?
The way my heart keeps breakin.
The way my hands keep shakin.
That there are just some things,
That I don't understand...
The way I think of you,
The way I just want to be with you.
And how I keep replaying the memories that
I don't need.
Author notes
option 2. I love country music, because I grew up listening to it, and I still am (even if I'm not fully grown yet) and the best kind for me really is country, because of how I feel when it plays, it makes me feel at home, or nostalgic.

The way my heart keeps breakin.
The way my hands keep shakin.
