Crush
Mandy Moore Lyrics

You know everything that I'm afraid of
You are the only one who truly understands me and all of my fears and insecurities.

You do everything I wish I did
You possess all of the qualities and traits that I admire in a person and wish I had myself.

Everybody wants you, everybody loves you
You are incredibly popular and beloved by all, making me feel like just another person vying for your attention.

I know I should tell you how I feel
I am aware that I need to confess my feelings to you, but I am struggling with the courage to do so.

I wish everyone would disappear
I wish there were no other distractions or people around so that I could focus solely on expressing my feelings to you.

Every time you call me
Every time you contact me, whether through a phone call or message, my heart skips a beat and I become anxious about what you could possibly want from me.

I'm too scared to be me
I am too fearful of being vulnerable and expressing my true feelings to you, opting instead to hide behind a facade.

And I'm too shy to say
My shyness prevents me from being able to effectively communicate my emotions to you, leaving me feeling frustrated and stuck.

Ooh, I got a crush on you
I am deeply infatuated with you and have strong feelings of attraction and desire towards you.

I hope you feel the way that I do
I am hoping that you reciprocate my feelings and are also romantically interested in me.

I get a rush
Being around you or even just thinking about you gives me an intense feeling of excitement and euphoria.

When I'm with you
My crush on you intensifies when I am in your presence, and I feel a strong connection to you.

You know, I'm the one that you can talk to
You confide in me and share your secrets with me, trusting me implicitly with your deepest thoughts and emotions.

Sometimes you tell me things that I don't wanna know
You confide in me about things that may be painful or difficult to hear, but I still value your honesty and appreciate your openness with me.

I just wanna hold you
I long to be close to you, maybe even physically, and crave the intimacy that comes with a close relationship.

You say exactly how you feel about her
You openly express your feelings for someone else to me, which can be difficult for me to hear since I am so deeply enamored with you.

I wonder, could you ever think of me that way
I am left wondering if you could ever reciprocate my feelings of affection and romantically pursue a relationship with me instead of someone else.

I wish I could tell somebody
I long to share my feelings with a confidant, but no one understands the depth of my emotions towards you.

But there's no one to talk to, nobody knows
I feel isolated and alone in my emotions towards you, as there is no one around who truly understands how I feel.

You say everything that no one says
You are unafraid to speak your mind and say the things that others shy away from, which I find admirable and attractive.

But I feel everything that you're afraid to feel
Although you may hide behind a tough exterior, I can sense that deep down you are feeling the same things that I am, including vulnerability and insecurity.

I will always want you, I will always love you
My feelings towards you will never disappear, and I will always hold a deep level of affection and attraction towards you.

Crush baby, I got a crush on you
My infatuation with you is all-consuming and I find myself unable to shake off these feelings, no matter how hard I try.

I got a crush on you
My heart is completely invested in you and my feelings of attraction towards you are overwhelming.
