I wanted to get close to you, but I dunno what to say!
My thoughts dry up, they're not enough, and I dunno what to say!
I'm insufficient, terrible, and I see my truth in you.
The gap between how I can be, and how I look to you!
And I know I'm too serious,
That I act too intense,
My confidence perverted by my hope and ignorance,
So I stand in the corner, I smile and look away,
I suffer it in silence where I guess I'll always stay,
You make me feel so miserable,
Like I'm beneath contempt.
My feelings come out broken and my words they don't make sense.
I thought we'd feel a symmetry, I should have known the truth!
That I was making judgements without any shred of proof!
I know you'll never notice me,
I try hard not to care,
But it hurts that you're so distant even when you're standing there.
I know we have no chemistry, and that should be enough!
But unrequited love is painful even when it's dumb.
I wanted to get close to you, but I dunno what to say!
My thoughts dry up, they're not enough, and I dunno what to say!
I'm insufficient, terrible, and I see my truth in you.
The gap between how I can be, and how I look to you!
And I know I'm too serious,
That I act too intense,
My confidence perverted by my hope and ignorance,
So I stand in the corner, I watch you walk away,
I suffer it in silence where I know I'll have to stay,
I don't hate you for leaving,
I only hate myself,
I put you on a pedestal, I took you for a shell ,
Obbessed with your apperance, I created my own you.
An idol I could worship, based on all the things you do.
And I realize that was stupid,
And I recognize it's wrong.
But I wanted our connection to be more than just a song.
So I sit here in the gutter, where I know I'll have to stay.
I suffer it in silence and I watch it fade away.
I wanted to get close to you, but I dunno what to say!
My thoughts dry up, they're not enough, and I dunno what to say!
I'm insufficient, terrible, and I see my truth in you.
The gap between how I can be, and how I look to you!
And I know I'm too serious,
That I act too intense,
My confidence perverted by my hope and ignorance,
So I stand in the corner, I smile and look away.
I think of all these things that I will never, ever say.
