From the recording Retrospect
Lyrics
Giving you a watered down version
Of all that i feel
Cuz i’ll scare you off
I know I will
I’m a big ball of emotion
Who has panic attacks
Once you see me like this
You’ll never come back
Can’t even bring myself to tell you what’s wrong
And I know it’s something that I need to work on but
I can’t find the words to say
With all these walls I put up in the way
And you say that you’ll stand by me
But I know better
Cuz I’ve heard broken promises
Like that before
Can’t really trust you cuz i
Can’t even trust myself no
I wish I didn’t feel like this
You say I should be more vulnerable
But you don’t know I am 24/7
You want me to open up
But I know I’ll overwhelm ya
And there is nothing that would make me more happy
Than to feel fully comfortable and all alright with me
But every time I go to try to speak my mind
I loose my words and I panic every single time
And you say that you’ll stand by me
But I know better
Cuz I’ve heard broken promises
Like that before
Can’t really trust you cuz i
Can’t even trust myself no
I wish I didn’t feel like this
You say I should be more vulnerable
But you don’t know I am 24/7
You want me to open up
But I know I’ll overwhelm ya
I’ll overwhelm ya
I’ll overwhelm ya
I’ll overwhelm ya
And you say that you got me babe
But I don’t believe a word you say
You say that we’ll work it out
But I can’t even see how
Cuz he said the same thing
Then he left the next day
So maybe you can promise me
That this time will be different
You say I should be more vulnerable
But you don’t know I am 24/7
You want me to open up
But I know I’ll overwhelm ya
I’ll overwhelm ya
I’ll overwhelm ya
I’ll overwhelm ya
And you say that you’ll stand by me
But I know better
Cuz I’ve heard broken promises
Like that before
Can’t really trust you cuz i
Can’t even trust myself no
I wish I didn’t feel like this
I wish I didn’t feel like this
