Wallflower (The Perks of Being a Small Coward)

lyrics

Can I just get one second to call you right now?
I cannot tell if what I did has somehow made you proud.
A moment of fearlessness and confidence I found.
There's a lack of simplicity in telling if I've made ground.
Please don't leave me hanging
On this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't wanna change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Please don't leave me hanging
On this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't wanna change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Why can't I read the signs of your emotions?
You make my heart sink down to the ocean floor.
So many thoughts in my brain and devotion.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
Should have lowered expectations everyone but you had.
The nights with you that I spent don't deserve to stay in the past.
No matter rib shots I took memories won't be bad.
"A final valiant effort" as described by my dad.
Please don't leave me hanging
On this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't wanna change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Please don't leave me hanging
On this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't wanna change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Why can't I read the signs of your emotions?
You make my heart sink down to the ocean floor.
So many thoughts in my brain and devotion.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
