Deal With It
T.w.i.n.s Lyrics

It started with a kiss, in the back row of the classroom
Our romantic relationship began with a single kiss, exchanged clandestinely in the back of our classroom.

How could I resist the aroma of your perfume
Your scent was so alluring that I couldn't help but fall for you.

You and I were inseparable, it was love at first sight
From the very beginning, we had an unbreakable bond that felt like true love at first sight.

You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my bride
Even at such a young age, we made promises to one another that would bind us together forever.

But you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine
We were just children when we made our vows to each other, so innocent and naïve.

I thought that life was always good, I thought you always would be mine
I had an innocent and optimistic view of life, and believed that our love would last forever.

I remember every little thing, like fighting in the playground
Despite the joys of our love, I also remember the petty fights and disagreements we had as children.

Some good looking boys had started to hang around
As we grew older, other boys began to show interest in you, causing tension between us.

That boy hurt me so bad but I was happy 'cause you cried
When another boy hurt me, you cried for me, making me feel somewhat happy in my pain.

Still I couldn't help but notice that new distant look in your eyes
Despite your emotional reaction to my pain, I felt a distance growing between us as we both began to change and mature.

Then when you were sixteen I had just turned seventeen
As we entered our teenage years, we reached a turning point in our relationship, as age began to separate us even more.

I couldn't hold on to my love, I couldn't hold on to my dream
Despite my deepest wish to stay with you forever, I couldn't hold onto our love and dreams any longer.

You don't remember me do you?
As we meet again after so many years, I realize that you may have forgotten about me and our past love.

Walking down the streets again, the star of my love story
As I look back on our history together, you are still the main character in the story of my love life.

And my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my memory
As I see you again, my heart races with excitement and my memories of our past love become crystal clear again.

I heard my voice call out your name as you looked then looked away
As I try to reconnect with you, I call out your name, but you quickly look away, making me feel rejected and hurt all over again.

I felt so hurt, I felt so small, it was all that I could say
As I process my feelings of rejection, my heart feels hurt and my self-esteem feels diminished, leaving me with nothing else to say.

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
Reflecting on our relationship's journey, it all started with a single kiss, and never did I expect it to end in such painful heartbreak.
