Now I Understand Lyrics - Lisa Loeb

Oh, when I turned five I got a piece of cake, 

the corner with the rose. 

I leaned in close, 

and I told him that I loved him, and he ran. 

It made my heart stop. 

It made my heart stop. 

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, 

even though it feels like it could explode. 

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, 

it beats on and on and on.

And in the afternoon I put on my best swimming suit, 

and spied across the pool at all my friends, 

but I sat on the steps, in the shallow end alone 

because my heart stopped. 

It made my heart stop. 

I didn't get what I expected. 

Reached out and I got rejected. 

I couldn't have it cause I checked it off. 

Felt sad, I didn't understand it. 

Why would this happen to me? 

But my heart, it didn't stop, 

it beat on and on and on.

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, 

even though it feels like it could explode. 

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop, 

it beats on and on and on.
