Convince Myself
Told myself this time it would be different
And you and I could really make it work
That you're just really busy, you're not distant
And you're scared to commit, 'cause you've been hurt before
My friends are getting tired of me asking
About you, I can't help but bring it up
They say if it was real, I wouldn't ask them how you feel
If they think that you might be the one
When will I realize
If he wanted to, he would
Six words I never understood
It's not fair
Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care?
So I make up excuses
Like your phone died, hit red lights, so that's why you're late
But you're acting different, you're acting strange
Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine?
When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me
I'm back on the shelf
I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself
Used to talk all day, you're getting slower (slower)
Haven't asked to see me in a while
Or maybe I just overthink and that's the normal way of things
I question myself like a child (question myself like a child)
When will I realize
If he wanted to, he would
Six words I never understood
It's not fair
Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care?
So I make up excuses
Like your phone died, hit red lights, so that's why you're late
But you're acting different, you're acting strange
Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine?
When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me
I'm back on the shelf
I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself
So tired of being burdened with figuring you out
Oh, you're constantly changing, I constantly doubt
If any of it is real, if you even exist
Oh, you say that you care, but I'm not convinced
Oh, it's not fair
Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care?
So I make up excuses
Like your phone died, hit red lights so that's why you're late
But you're acting different, you're acting strange
Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine?
When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me
I'm back on the shelf
I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself
And you and I could really make it work
That you're just really busy, you're not distant
And you're scared to commit, 'cause you've been hurt before
My friends are getting tired of me asking
About you, I can't help but bring it up
They say if it was real, I wouldn't ask them how you feel
If they think that you might be the one
When will I realize

Six words I never understood
It's not fair
Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care?
So I make up excuses
Like your phone died, hit red lights, so that's why you're late
But you're acting different, you're acting strange
Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine?
When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me

I'm back on the shelf
I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself
