So I play with your hair
And I look in your eyes
And I don't know what to do
In response to your sighs,

So I want to hold you tight
Your body near me
But you struggle to breathe
You try to break free.

So I talk about feelings
And I talk about pain
And you look at me
As if I'm insane.

So I see it's so obvious:
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I went to stay,
You want me to leave.

So I release you from my arms
And you step back or two
You appear to be confused,
How do I feel about you?

You don't know what I think
I don't know how you feel
So I try to share emotions
That are much too real.
