Lyric

Threw another sharp word at you today

Watching your face cloud up and fade away

I’m scared to be gentle, scared to be real

So I hide behind this wall of steel

I’m such a fool, playing it so tough

When "kindness" is never quite enough

I know you only see me as a friend

A story with a predictable end

So I act like I don’t care at all

Keeping my distance, building the wall

But inside, I’m waiting for you to call

Why is my heart so irregular?

Beating so fast, like a falling star

If only I could just be who I am

(Want to say it... but I can't...)

I can't tell you the truth, so I keep on acting tough

Hurting you with words, though I know it’s rough

There’s no way you’d ever look my way

It’s so frustrating, what can I say?

I’m so frustrated, the tears are gonna fall!

(I love you... even though I hide it...)

Every time we talk, I’m cold and dry

Looking away, avoiding your eye

My friends all say, "Just be honest for once"

If I could do that, I wouldn't be such a dunce!

I’m starting to hate this side of me

But I can’t change it, don't you see?

(I’m so done... with this feeling...)

I can't tell you the truth, so I keep on acting tough

Hurting you with words, though I know it’s rough

There’s no way you’d ever look my way

It’s so painful, what can I say?

My chest is hurting, I’m losing it all!

Walking home on a quiet street

The sound of our shoes and a heart in defeat

Then you whispered in a voice so low

"I was always too scared to let it show"

Wait... what does that mean?

Your eyes are fixed on me, so deep and true

"I was doing the exact same thing as you..."

Breath stops, the world turns upside down

Two hearts, two fools, lost and found!

I can't believe that you felt the same way too!

Both of us were hiding, both of us were blue

I’ve gotta say it now, every single part

Finally, I can open up my heart!

(I love you... I really love you...)

We were so clumsy, staying so guarded

But now a new story has finally started

I think we finally understand

(Taking your hand...)
