Diversions

Scared to speak what's on my mind
What if I'm all out of line
I don't want to misconstrue
The stuff I wanna tell you

Maybe this is what I need
Though I know you'll make me plead
Do you know what this is all for
I'm unsure

'Cause all these little things in my head don't align with all the things I wanna say
These little diversions make it hard; my jaw is clenched, I'll say it anyway
I can't let my emotions get in the way of every single thing I wanna do
These little diversions make it hard, but gone are all the days I used to run from you

And when I say my whining's done
I'll show you off to everyone

"Take a chance in this life, even if it's full of strife"
Don't wanna watch my story break down in front of my eyes

But it's too soon to make assumptions based
On what's thrown in our face
Now I gotta watch my story break down in front of my eyes again

"Even when the going's rough,
You just gotta man up; act tough"
I don't think you understand
All the situations at hand

"But no matter what you do,
You just gotta fight it through"
I don't think you understand
The situations at hand

'Cause all these little things in my head don't align with all the things I wanna say
These little diversions make it hard; my jaw is clenched, I'll say it anyway
I can't let my emotions get in the way of every single thing I wanna do
These little diversions make it hard, but gone are all the days I used to run from you
