Everyday I look your way
Trying to be normal but looking like a fool
Not knowing what to do
Looking around while talking to you to avoid being lost in your eyes
Because I can't afford to waste time with you
It's limited to class
because outside I'm too shy
Too shy to walk up to you and say the words I write
Because I can't tell you how I feel So I lay these words upon a page Hoping it gets the job done
But throwing it aside because I can't let you read it
I'm a joke
Been sitting next to you in 1 class for 9 weeks
Not able to compliment your smile Or your hair And I tell myself "I'll do it"
Just to let myself down
I let the river carry me thus far
Reopening old wounds
hoping to be able to man up
But at the end of the day I throw it all away and shut up
Because in the end
I'm just a boy
With a pencil
