Sign Language (feat. Wynter Gordon)

I wanna show you that I care
but I dont have the nerve
I wanna say I love you
but I cant find the words
I wish that you could know how I
really felt all of this time
but no matter what I do
you can't see the signs
he was an average teen
he partied often and he sagged his jeans
sat in the very back of the class so he can nap and dream
and fantasize about the girl he was obsessed with
the one who stole his heart and always kept it
cause ever since the 7th grade she was always standin in his centre stage
but every time he'd try to talk to her she would just step away
and though she never spoke to him it didn't matter
cause Billy never liked the chit chatter
so what if a little passive?
to him she was attractive
he could sense a massive personality perfectly by the way she acted
plus she wrote poems for the paper every month
it was the lines on the page that had him fallen in love
but he never told his friends
they would say that he was crazy
so no one ever found out that Billy liked Amy
he is gracefully endured
being blatantly ignored
but sooner or later Billy wouldn't take it anymore
I wanna show you that I care
but I don't have the nerve
I wanna say I love you
but I can't find the words
I wish that you could know how I
really felt all of this time
but no matter what I do
you can't see the signs
so he's taking his chances
tired of all the wasted advances
sick and tired of never havin dates for the dances
if he wanted Amy he needed to step it up
so one day he stopped by her locker to confess his love
and he told her she was beautiful and lit up his sky
Like "Colombus with a compass would get lost in your eyes"
but she didn't respond, just gave him a weird look
she tried to give him a shrug but she was carryin books
but that was all it took
he put himself out there and he got crushed
so he had to run away before the tears rushed
a whole week he locked himself in his apartment
cause he didn't have the strength to face the world so broken hearted
after seven days of darkness got a letter in the mail
but before he even looked at it he let that ship sail
he was too concerned with all the sadness in his life
so instead of a letter opener he grabbed a kitchen knife
I wanna show you that I care
but I don't have the nerve
I wanna say I love you
but I can't find the words
I wish that you could know how I
really felt all of this time
but no matter what I do
you can't see the signs
she was far from your average teen
the quiet type who never had a scene
studied often and wrote poems for the school magazine
she had a little secret and she always kept it
there was a boy that she was obsessed with
so when she wrote a poem for the school paper every month
every line on the page was dedicated to her crush
but she never told her friends
they would say that it was silly
so no one ever found out that Amy liked Billy
till the day that Billy stopped her by her locker during school
but she couldn't understand him a responded like a fool
and gave him a weird look
she tried doin sign language but she couldn't cause she was carryin all her books
see, even though Amy was equally obsessed
she was too embarrassed to tell him that she was born deaf
avoided him at school
but to make her love known
she would have to leave him little signs through the lines of her poems
so she sent on to his home
after seven days passed
cause it seemed like Billy wasn't showin up to class
so she's going home confused
trapped in the worst mood
flippin on the TV to a tragic story on the news
it was the picture of your average teen
all it said was this:
"LOCAL TEEN SUICIDAL WITH A KNIFE TO HIS WRIST"
at the scene where he died was a letter never read
from a girl named amy and it said:
I wanna show you that I care
but I don't have the nerve
I wanna say I love you
but I can't find the words
I wish that you could know how I
really felt all of this time
but no matter what I do
you can't see the signs
can't see the signs
can't see the signs
no, no matter what I do
no matter what I do
no matter what I do
no matter what I do
you can't see the signs
