I'm sorry I fell silent and didn't say why


But the truth is it kills me, the thought of you with another girl or guy


I fell so fucking hard for you


And I thought you felt it for me too


Hell, to this day I still think I have a chance


But you'd never give me a second glance


Sometimes I wonder what I did that made the butterflies fly away


Was it my attitude? Did I come on too strong? I'm missing those butterflies, especially today


Sometimes I think I still see something there


Like the way today you showed you really cared


You got mad when I started questioning if I'm better off dead


That sent things spinning in my head


I always mess things up, I always do something wrong


Now I'm listening to that fucking song


Something I say, something I feel


It fucks up everything, yet none of it feels real


So from now on I promise this


When spoken to, I'll plead the fifth


It won't be anyone's fault but my own


Right now I just want to be left alone


That's a lie, I want someone to understand


I'm begging, someone lend a hand


Someone realize that these big brown eyes can hide a lot, that there's sadness behind my smile


Someone realize that I haven't been happy in a long long while


Someone realize that I'm broken deep down


That behind this smile lies the deepest frown


Someone to notice and hold me tight


Look me in the eyes and promise things will be alright


Tell me you know that my smile is fake


Promise me that my heart won't yet again break


Promise you'll stay, as a friend or as more


Promise you'll never walk out that door


Promise things don't have to change ever again


Tell me I won't lose another friend
