about

Trying to decide if you should tell someone how you feel, knowing it will make things really uncomfortable, then doing it anyway and kicking yourself in the butt knowing you were right. (2012)

lyrics

This place is so familiar
Feels like I've been here before
You're just another stranger
Behind another closed door

I tried to keep my mouth shut
You told me not to worry
So won't you tell me why you
Left in such a hurry

This is why I don't tell people how I feel
'Cause then I start to believe that it might be real
This is the outcome we denied
You said it wouldn't be awkward, you lied

I said it wasn't my place
You told me just to try
I knew before I said it
That I had crossed the line

Won't say I told you so
'Cause that would just be mean
I'll just reflect on the fool
You've made of me

This is why I don't tell people how I feel
'Cause then I start to believe that it might be real
This is the outcome we denied
You said it wouldn't be awkward, you lied

I knew that this would happen
You told me you were different
But now I'm in the same place
I've always been in the past
I guess that acting normal
Was just too good to last

I knew when the car went silent
Or as soon as I pressed send
It's been hours since you replied
I thought that things would be okay this time

This is why I don't tell people how I feel
'Cause then I start to believe that it might be real
This is the outcome we denied
You said it wouldn't be awkward, you lied
