i see you everyday
but you just walk on by
its like fireworks explode inside
just some simple words that i wanna say
when i get close i hesitate
time and time i search to find
that opening cliche

[CHORUS]
if you could only read my mind
you'd see that i am struggling
line by line
i wrote it down a million times
but i just cant seem to get it right

[verse 2]
why does my confidence
play tricks on me
it shuts me up so i cant speak
out of necessity i have to prove
that my telepathy
can get through to you
why
does it have to be that the words get in the way

[CHORUS]

if you only knew
that i wrote it all for you

if you could read my mind
you'd see that i am struggling
line by line
i wrote it down a million times
but i just cant seem to get it right
[REPEAT]

no i just cant seem te get it right...
