you look at me across the room and
i feel doom inside
cuz i can't look you in the eye and
i'm too shy besides
i know that it would never work and
i'm a jerk and trite
for never letting anyone in
anyone inside
i wish that i could let you in on
everything i hide
the other boys would blur and I'd see
only you and i
you'd wash away the wasted years of
all the tears i cried
but now i sit here lonely cuz it's
only in my mind
