God! How Embarrassing

I always find myself in this situation
Watch the bus pull out and leave the station
I'm really bad at guessing what I'm doing wrong
I'll say what's on my mind until
It all comes off a little strong

Before the melancholy introspection
I'm way too vulnerable
Even this routine rejection

I take to heart
Oh, how embarrassing
From the start you could say it was promising
And then the whole thing crashed and burned
I shake it off
Move on, no, it's nothing
But it's not enough and then I overcompensate
And hope nobody's noticing
That what I did was so embarrassing

In the moment when I'm overwhelmed
The only way to cope is through a more confident self
And she can handle an air of awkward pause
She loves performing, yeah
She lives for the applause

But sometimes when it matters I go sober
And any other hiccup
Anybody else gets over

I take to heart
Oh, how embarrassing
From the start you could say it was promising
And then the whole thing crashed and burned
I shake it off
Move on, no, it's nothing
But it's not enough and then I overcompensate
And hope nobody's noticing
That what I did was so embarrassing

I tell myself that obsessing isn't right
That everybody's faux pas keep them up at night

I take it to heart
God! How embarrassing!
From the start you could say it was promising
And then the whole thing crashed and burned
I shake it off
Move on, no, it's nothing
But it's not enough and then I overcompensate
And hope nobody's noticing
I'm mortified, I take the smallest

Thing to heart
God! How embarrassing
I tear apart the arguments I'm balancing
Express yourself!
Keep your mouth shut!
I'm glad I tried, though I look like an idiot
What's worth having won't be immediate
And still refrain from noticing
That what I did was so embarrassing
