lyrics

i'm afraid if i tell you i love you
you'll just make fun of me for being drunk
well i clearly am, i broke a shot glass
and i thought the bathroom door was locked when it wasn't
so i'm standing outside
a little teary eyed
watching all of you talk
and maybe this just shows how far i've fallen, but i can't think of more i could want
beyond this

until ashley says, she hoped she could meet a friend from my songs
and i had to remind her that she'd got the continent wrong
what happiness i've built since they left still feel precarious
like maybe if i put my weight on it, it'll all come tumbling down

and i'm afraid once you all get to know me, you'll just
wanna run away
and i'm afraid if i show you my heart,
you won't have anything nice to say, because
when you look inside, you won't find
anything of value to give
and i can't seem to stop believing that after all of the contrary evidence

like when ashley says, she hoped she could meet a friend from my songs
and i had to remind her that she'd got the continent wrong
what happiness i've built since they left still feel precarious
like maybe if i put my weight on it, it'll all come tumbling down

and ashley said she hoped she could meet a friend from my songs
so i wrote a new one
