EMOTIONALLY PARANOID Lyrics

I knew when we locked eyes

From the way that my breath gave out

Thank you for the good times

But there's a weight in my chest

There's just no way I could let you into my desire

What would you say if it was

Yourself that you would find there

Would you run would you laugh

Or say that I'm not enough

That's why I keep It to myself

The way your kindness and your calm

And your smile have kept me warm

Don't know if you could tell

One more sign would really help

Oh no

It's happening again

Don't get too close

But I wanna know

If we could be friends

Or maybe more

But the closer I get the more I fear that you don't like me

Before you turn me down I'll just pretend you're not my type

We might be some kind of fairytale if I

Wasn't so emotionally paranoid

Don't dare to ask what you think

Because I'm afraid if it's not the same

Feeling like a nuisance

Part of my precautions yeah I'm chronically cautious

So I keep It to myself

The way your voice rings in my head

I smiled at everything you said

Don't know if you could tell

One more sign would really help

Oh no

It's happening again

Don't get too close

But I wanna know

If we could be friends

Or maybe more

But the closer I get the more I fear that you don't like me

Before you turn me down I'll just pretend you're not my type

We might be some kind of fairytale if I

Wasn't so fucking terrified

Of loving when my heart might be declined

I can't believe I'm stuck here in my mind

So I continue

(I stay quiet)

Running from my own luck

When I am with you

(I stay quiet)

Trying to move on from the

Pictures that I made up showing me still by your side

(I'm holding it down)

If I never show them to you they can't be destroyed

(It's holding me down)

Wishful thinking when I could have told you

(I'm cold and worn out)

But I hide my desire

Cause I'm afraid of fucking up and being left behind

I'm still leaving crumbs there for you to find

Before you forget me

Oh no

It's happening again

Don't get too close

But I wanna know

If we could be friends

Or maybe more

But the closer I get the more I fear that you don't like me

Before you turn me down I'll just pretend you're not my type

We might be some kind of fairytale if I

Wasn't so emotionally paranoid
