SHIELD

Shy's an excuse just to play with my feelings as you please Night after night staying up, wondering why I can't appease Maybe I just misread, maybe you just see us as friends So you'll get drunk with them 'Stead of staying and trying to make amends We were both too kind to confront the other But when everyone's involved we got scared of each other I would take the leap if I knew you'd join me But instead I'll stay grounded letting you just avoid me How did I get into this mess? I wanna let you go but I have an obligation to be honest How do I tell you how I feel? It seems so easy but with you I just put up a shield Protections my friend, I'll cocoon 'til I know I feel safe And with you, yes I do, but I know you'll just react too late If I told you the truth, it's too forward, you'd just run away (run away, run away like you do) But I guess that that's better than waiting until you've decided that you wanna stay We were both too kind to confront the other But when everyone's involved we got scared of each other I would take the leap if I knew you'd join me But instead i'll stay grounded letting you just avoid me How did I get into this mess? I wanna let you go but I have an obligation to be honest How do I tell you how I feel? It seems so easy but with you I just put up a shield I just put up a shield I keep putting up shields You can meet me on the battlefield
