I Was Shy

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.
