isn't everything easier when you don't open up?
i've barely put myself out there
and i've found it much easier
to just stay inside.

i'll reach out a hand and you don't take it
i take a step toward you and you take a step back
so wouldn't it make sense for me
to just stay inside?

i try to reason with myself but you won't let me
something about you always pulls me away
and i can never even find the simple will
to just
stay
inside.
