Analysis of I Guess I Always Knew



I used to look at you every day
I thought about your smile
I couldn't look away
You made me want to run a mile

I was jealous when you talked to her
I didn't know why
Everything was all a blur
I thought I liked another guy

My heart never stuck like glue
To anyone but you
I guess I always knew
I really love you
