I’ve been told that my generation’s gone to waste and we’re Short term on the choices that we make on love and we’re Burnt out on the 4 inch screen and swiping right on those One night stands that will leave us wanting false pretenses I believe that it’s more than just a silly game cause I’ve Been burned I’m not one for making first impressions Is she right in front of me? Do I take for granted my surroundings? Is it up to me say what I’m really thinking cause I can’t promise her tomorrow I’m not staying here tonight Just a stranger in my bedroom And I don’t know if she’s alright Chasing empty conversations Does she even feel the same? It’s funny how I think she’s everything When all I know is her name She’ll get the better parts of me I’m not afraid of honesty Why’s it so hard for me to Strike up a conversation Don’t set the expectations Nobody here is perfect Give me a chance to be there It’s time to be courageous I hope that I’m courageous Why can’t I be courageous
