My heart is warm

You're in the background and I am even more
You don't have the right hair and I don't have the right clothes
And I notice nothing
I'm a silly girl
I don't notice anything yet
And my heart is warm
My heart is warm

You're sitting casually and I'm in the corner
You don't talk much and I can't get close
And still I don't notice it
Or maybe do a little
But I'm not feeling anything yet
And my heart is warm
My heart is warm

He's in love and she's just confused
And we're eclipsed by them, and we're both cocooned
And I'm watching someone else
Yeah, I'm a silly girl
Headed for so many regrets
But my heart is warm
My heart is warm

She says never in uncertain terms and he holds on
And meanwhile I'll be hurt and so will you
And slowly we are growing
Independently
On one side and the other
And my heart is warm
My heart is warm

And suddenly the terms are certain, and then he doesn't care
And you watch her move and I watch him heal
And I will fall in love
With a silly boy
But it will not last
Yet, my heart is warm
My heart is warm

There'll be no him and her in that context again
And you and I take their places
And I'll be in someone's arms
Trying to feel something
But then I'll notice you
And my heart is warm
My heart is warm

I'll watch you from afar and you'll look the other way
And I'll try to get a little closer and you'll let me
But the distance persists
And I just blush and mutter
For a while, content
Because my heart is warm
My heart is warm

One day I will stop you and you will listen
And I'll tell you everything and you will nod
You'll say kind words
And turn me away gently
And I'll still be okay
Still, my heart is warm
My heart is warm

And for a while it is comfortable and easy
But those days pass way too fast
And you're still on my mind constantly
I'm a silly girl
You don't know you're still stuck in my head
But my heart is warm
My heart is warm

Then along comes bright and beautiful
And she has golden hair and every kind of charm
And I must know everything
Though I don't want to hear
You're the happiness I'll never get
And my heart is worn
My heart is worn
My heart is worn
My heart is worn
My heart is worn
All the right feelings, all the wrong times
My heart is worn
It's not the greatest pain, but it's enough
My heart is worn
My heart is worn
