the last thing i wanna do is hurt you
but will we ever get anywhere if i don't?
pain isn't avoidable when it comes to love
but if we wanna work things out, we've gotta push and shove

been tryna work on my emotions and how i express them
you say you're proud but even then i second guess myself
i'm sorry i'm so difficult, i'm not used to love or the way it overwhelms
every single part of ourselves

if i don't ask, you don't tell
try my best but it's always hell
i never shout, i never yell
but if you don't notice then oh well

hate to say it or ask for attention
my biggest fear is being annoying
so it's something that i never mention
we're a subject i'm always avoiding
it's not healthy and it's driving me crazy
i'm in love with somebody that's a maybe
begging the world that somehow he'll see
the way he acts and what it does to me

the last thing i wanna do is break your heart
but that's kinda been destined from the start
pain is guaranteed when you're far apart
but i'm trying my best and it's still not enough

i won't ask and you won't tell
do what i can but it feels like hell
i shut down when i wanna yell
and you don't notice so oh well

hate to say it or ask for attention
my biggest fear is being annoying
so it's something that i never mention
we're a subject i'm always avoiding
it's not healthy and it's driving me crazy
i'm in love with somebody that's a maybe
begging the world that somehow he'll see
the way he acts and what it does to me

i don't know how to explain how i feel
about him or anyone in general
it's exhausting and i'm tired of fighting
for a future that'll just disappoint me

i hate to ask you for attention
i don't wanna be annoying
so i shut up and never mention
the two of us, i'm always avoiding
all this stress keeps driving me crazy
i fell for you and i fell too hard, maybe
but what do i have to do to make you see
all the things you do to me?
what do i have to do to make you believe
that the distance between us is killing me?
