Who am I to say I want you back
When you were never mine to give away
I was waiting for a long, long time for you to feel the same
Who are you to look at me like that
Is there something more you need to say
I haven't loved you in a long, long time
So why do I feel this way
Can you hear my heartbeat
Please don't stand so close to me
Can you hear my heartbeat still beating strong
Maybe I'm ashamed to want you back
Maybe I'm afraid you'll never stay
Thought I hated you a long, long time
That was my mistake
I just can't pretend that nothing's changed
Can you comprehend just what to say
If you break my heart a second time
I might never be the same
Can you hear my heartbeat
Please don't stand so close to me
Can you hear my heartbeat still beating strong
I haven't loved you in a long, long time
Thought I hated you a long, long time
If you break my heart one more time
I won't ever be the same
Can you hear my heartbeat
Please don't stand so close to me
Can you feel my heartbeat still beating strong
Can you hear my heartbeat
When you stand so close to me
Can you hear my heartbeat still beating strong
Still beating strong
Still beating strong
When you were never mine to give away
I was waiting for a long, long time for you to feel the same
Is there something more you need to say
I haven't loved you in a long, long time
So why do I feel this way
Please don't stand so close to me
Can you hear my heartbeat still beating strong
Maybe I'm afraid you'll never stay
Thought I hated you a long, long time
That was my mistake
Can you comprehend just what to say
If you break my heart a second time
I might never be the same
Please don't stand so close to me
Can you hear my heartbeat still beating strong
Thought I hated you a long, long time
If you break my heart one more time
I won't ever be the same
Please don't stand so close to me
Can you feel my heartbeat still beating strong
When you stand so close to me
Can you hear my heartbeat still beating strong
Still beating strong

It's about having harbored feelings of love for someone who you were never in a relationship with because they didn't love you back. You waited for them to feel the same, but they never did and you began to resent/hate them. Now - after not having seen them in a while - you see them and the feelings that you'd thought you had gotten over come back.
