my smile goes slow and knowing
See, that's your problem. You think the blush is real. I let you believe that because it makes you feel safe. But we both know who's actually in charge here, don't we?Oh, that's how you want to play it? Fine. But if I'm not the one blushing by the end of tonight, I'm never letting you forget it.
