Verse 1:
Sitting on my bed, the cold outside
Song stuck on replay, everything so quiet
Beat up old guitar, just a little out of tune
Put this pen to paper, a song all about you
What a terrible day, can't wait to sleep it off
Crappy Chinese takeout, but still a smile that can't be bought
Pick up the phone to call you, but I stop half way
Don't wanna feel any more of what I felt today
Chorus:
Want to tell you
But the words don't come out right
When you ask me
Sincerely if I'm okay tonight
I want to let you know
But I can't speak my mind
When you look at me
And I pretend I'm fine
But I want to trust you
I want to care again
But somehow I can't make myself feel
Feel what I felt then
Verse 2:
I think that I miss you cause I feel pretty concerned
That when I look at your picture I want it to burn
Burn it baby go and throw it far away
But I take it out of the trash and keep it anyway
Awkwardly twist my hair around my finger a little bit
Shuffle my feet hoping you wont see it
Through my disguise, baby see inside
To the heart that you broke that night
Chorus:
Want to tell you
But the words don't come out right
When you ask me
Sincerely if I'm okay tonight
I want to let you know
But I can't speak my mind
When you look at me
And I pretend I'm fine
But I want to trust you
I want to care again
But somehow I can't make myself feel
Feel what I felt then
Verse 3:
Stare at the phone, you didn't call
And I curse myself, what was I waiting for
So I make myself another cup of coffee
Wondering why you hold all of this against me
Wait ’til 2 am then I turn off the light
Then the realisation hits
That I'm gonna be alright
Sitting on my bed, but now it's warm outside,
Still play this beat up old guitar and I hold up my smile.
