I have this queer little problem
Where my insides and outsides can't agree
You like me and I want to hold your hand
Yet I move my hand away from you so you don't think I'm trying anything
I know you need a self confidence boost
I want to tell you how cute you are sometimes
But I'll keep quiet or say something sarcastic
That beats down on you even more
I want to flirt back with you cuz I like you
But I'll shrug you off
Roll my eyes
Scoff
Because my inside-to-outside is broken
And I think
Just maybe
Dear
To fix it I'll need your love.
So know this next time I hurt you
When I distance myself
I just want you to hold me.
When I say something rude
I can't handle how perfect you are right now.
When I shrug you off
I just wanted to flirt back with you
I know I'm a mess of emotion
Like a leftover bag full of scraps
But the one thing dear
Though I don't show it
I love you.
To have you know it
Its all I try to do.
