Talk to Her

All these feelings I keep bottled inside
Never let them see the light of day
They stay inside my mind
Then when she doesn't love me back, I always wonder why
Even though the answer's right in front of my eyes
It's why
It's why I wrote "Wish I Wasn't Me"
I won't talk to this girl you see
How can one person be this intimidating
Maybe if I asked, we'd be dating
This is crazy
She moved on to another man while I spent the time waiting for what I said was the right moment, but the moment never came
Now a whole year of my life has passed and it has gone to waste
Fantasized about you for days after one day on the lake
But they're called fantasies for a reason
They're always fake
They're fake like Michael Myers
They could happen but they don't
And I'm panicking
Joy vanishing like the snap of Thanos
Man, I'm a side character in my own show
I had tons of chances so I don't know why I didn't take them

There are so many places we would go together
Two eyes I wanna gaze into forever
I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her
We would dance in the evening till the sun goes down
And I'll hold you in my arms until the stars come out
I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her

I feel like I'm locked inside a cage
Keys in my hand, but I can't escape
I put myself here
This is the choice I had to make
Don't wanna be rejected
Shyness is not a blessing
I've been at school for years so how can I not learn my lesson
I don't understand and now I'm stressing
Now I see you approaching like a teacher handing tests and I'm gonna get an F and I don't know what to say so I'm just guessing
Selecting random answers, hoping I pick the right one
And I never do
Zero out of one hundred
What will I do
I'd better figure it out soon cause I'm failing bad
Being silent
Somehow I'm nailing that
Sometimes I wonder if being silent is the only thing I'll ever be great at

When I look at our texts, I see one word responses
Treat me like a No Caller ID when I'm calling
Sent straight to voicemail
At least I hear your voice still
But I just wanna know the deal
Of course I know it already
I can't hold a conversation that's not over a text and that's an exclamation
Relationships are all about communication
And if I can't communicate, I'll be an ex you hate
Then I'll really wish I never asked you in the first place
I'm in a catch-22
I still lose in first place
Feel like the favorite to win the race, but I lose my placement to the underdog
And I won't even try to talk, so I guess I've already lost
I'm caught in this trap and I'm so lost

There are so many places we would go together
Two eyes I wanna gaze into forever
I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her
We would dance in the evening till the sun goes down
And I'll hold you in my arms until the stars come out
I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her

There are so many places we would go together

We would dance in the evening till the sun goes down
And I'll hold you in my arms until the stars come out
I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her

I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her
I would do these things for sure
If I could just talk to her
