Sometimes I want to talk to you,
But I'm just too shy,
I'll walk up behind you and freeze the moment you turn,
Yes, I'm shy,
You'll speak to me,
And all I can do is look away or smile like an idiot,
I'm shy,
I wanna call you to ask how your day went,
But I'm fucking shy!
I practice talking to you over and over again,
But forget everything when I see you,
I'm shy,
You got married and my heart shattered,
Damn!....I was still shy,
The priest said, "speak now or forever hold your peace"
But I couldn't, I was shy,
You had kids while I watched from the sidelines,
I wanted to tell you I was happy for you,
Even if it was a big fat lie,
I was still shy!
You fell ill and I wanted to come see you,
I was shy,
I attended your funeral with many things I'd wanted to tell you,
But guess what?
I remained shy.
