You walk by and my heart beats
A thousand times at once, it seems
And every time you look at me
I have to tell myself to breathe
With just a smile you capture me and I start to melt
Emotions then take over me, like I've never felt

I could tell my heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there and what I feel
Is in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
'Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie

Is there a chance you could be mine
If I let you see inside?
Or do you love somebody else?
Should I keep this to myself?
I could risk a broken heart by telling you the truth
Or I could keep my secret safe and when I see you

I could tell my heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there and what I feel
Is in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
'Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie

Once again, there you are
Anxiuosness, nervous heart
Butterflies fluttering
Can only mean one thing

I could tell my heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there and what I feel
Is in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
'Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie, oh, yeah, yeah
