I slept thinking what to say
Thinking, will you care anyway?
I cant believe I decided to tell you
Now I cant seem to do

I woke up to the sound of the words I will tell you
Grabbed my phone typed it but sending I just cant do
I have never confessed to anyone
But I think before you I liked no one

I typed the words I have to reveal
The words I kept concealed
I started our conversation
Im starting my confession

I keep checking and checking
I keep waiting and waiting
I keep looking and looking
But you left me hanging

Finally you replied to my message
I asked for things not to change
But you said "Wait, maybe tell me after a while?"
I crying inside, so I covered it with a smile

I rehearsed my lines to say
I knew you didn't care anyway
I feel stupid trying to tell you
Tell me, what do I do?
