My hands are shaking, my body's numb
That fever hit me like the perfect storm
No word of warning, bolt from the blue
Head over heels in love with you
I never said it was easy
I never knew it could be so hard
I didn't know that this feeling
Could tear my world apart
Love rollercoaster, a spinning wheel
Not sure I'm coping with the things I feel
She makes me holler, she makes me scream
I can't escape her even in my dreams
I never said it was easy
I never knew it could be so hard
I didn't know that this feeling
Could tear my world apart
All day waiting on a phone call
Going crazy, was it something I said?
All night staring at the same walls
Going crazy over something she said
No turning back now, a one-way ride
I can't get off now though God knows I've tried
My heart is pounding, my nerves are raw
But that don't stop me coming back for more
I never said it was easy
I never knew it could be so hard
I didn't know that this feeling
Could tear my world apart
I never said it was easy
I never knew it could be so hard
I didn't know that this feeling
Could tear my world apart
