Now I Understand - Lisa Loeb

Oh, when I turned five I got a piece of cake

The corner with the rose

I leaned in close

And I told him that I loved him, and he ran

It made my heart stop

It made my heart stop

Now I understand that my heart doesn’t stop

Even though it feels like it could explode

Now I understand that my heart doesn’t stop

It beats on and on and on

And in the afternoon I put on my best swimming suit

And spied across the pool at all my friends

But I sat on the steps, in the shallow end alone

Because my heart stopped

It made my heart stop

I didn’t get what I expected

Reached out and I got rejected

I couldn’t have it cause I checked it off

Felt sad, I didn’t understand it

Why would this happen to me?

But my heart, it didn’t stop

It beat on and on and on

Now I understand that my heart doesn’t stop

Even though it feels like it could explode

Now I understand that my heart doesn’t stop

It beats on and on and on
