about

A song about lack of self-confidence in social situations and relationships.

lyrics

Friends of mine say some amazing things
And some of them write good prose
Talking about God and about personal visions
Makes me wish I had stories of my own
Exaggerate opinions but my words are clumsy
Losing heart becoming withdrawn
And at times I just here and smile
When I feel like a child
I behave like a child

I wish I could open myself up to you
If I felt less unsure I might try
And make the commitments that Ive been avoiding
But I find it so hard to let go
The more I think about it the worse it seems
I lose the delusion I don’t want to be loved
And on the surface things begin to go wild
I behave like a child
When I feel like a child

Embarrassed and aggressive both point to the same thing
I don't want to come to terms with the me I know
And I refuse to believe that you could love me
When there’s people beside me offering more
Anxious to avoid a misunderstanding
Unhappy with the sound of what I say
When I can’t get your attention with style
I behave like a child
And I feel like a child
