You probably think I'm a mystery
I make it hard to see through me
What do you want me to say, to give
Never been the type to wear my heart on my sleeve,
You wonder what's in my mind
You said I seem so thoughtful
I'll no longer put my heart on the line
I just wanna avoid what feels painful
There's something to learn but a part of yourself to lose
And there's this feeling I got that I wasn't used to

What do you try to find
You think you figured me out
But you're the one who's blind
Even though I'm true, you still doubt
I know more things about you than you do about me
I had the time to watch you when you were ignoring me,
I remain quiet but my eyes notice what you don't always see
And I've got a secret garden inside of me
Where Everything's safe and hidden
My soul Is a secret garden

Sorry If I seem to be inaccessible
I may leave you lost
But now you gotta be more than special
If you want trust
I don't wanna listen to what leaves my heart frozen
Empty words are better left unspoken,
You wonder what's in my mind
You said I seem to be miles away
I tend to keep everything inside
I keep it all locked away
Never been good at opening up
I protect myself from what could mess me up
