Drama Queen

Song lyric about losing love

It’s strange to think that it should end like this
A tender hug, one final desperate kiss
Because no matter what we might say
We both know that things will change today

And they tell me I’m a drama queen
And I’m too young to know what this means
But what I know is my heartbeat slows
Every time our eyes cross paths
My tilted world is righted when you call my name
And when I see your smile I fall again
They don’t understand that you’re my world
And so they tell me I’m a drama queen

Seems like only yesterday we were head over heels
Two young spirits eager to learn how love feels
And with a meeting of lips and skin in the secrecy of night
You burned away the darkness and you gave me light

But they tell me I’m a drama queen
And I’m too young to know what this means
But what I know is my heartbeat slows
Every time our eyes cross paths
My tilted world is righted when you call my name
And when I see your smile I fall again
They don’t understand that you’re my world
And so they tell me I’m a drama queen

I know that begging is not the way to go
And I should want to keep what’s left of my pride
But as I watched you turn and walk away from me
I must admit that baby I cried

So let them tell me I’m a drama queen
And that I’m too young to know what this means
Because I know that my heartbeat slows
Every time our eyes cross paths
My tilted world is righted when you call my name
And when I see your smile I fall again
They don’t understand that you’re my world
So let them tell me I’m a drama queen
