Cutting Corners

Everything around me stands still. 
Everything inside me accelerates against my will.
Everything is right in front of me.
Everything I want is under lock and key.

Looking back on the things I’ve said and done
Back then it all seemed innocent and fun
Now all I see are the mistakes I’ve made
Watching past relationships quickly fade

In the moment being bold was great
But it’s the consequences that determine fate
There’s a reason why I’m so introvert
Because secretly I’m afraid of getting hurt 

You try to act tough
You try to act all rough
You know I see that that’s not true
You know I see the true you

I don’t know what to say
I don’t know what to do
I’m awkward, you’re shy
I just want to talk to you 

Sitting here with all my thoughts
Figuring out how I’m supposed to play this game.
Sitting here with all my thoughts
Not sure how to convey them to you. 
So just tell me how you feel
And I’ll decide if this is real.
