lyrics

For the first time today
I feel startled today
Singing lyrics from sheets
While you fell asleep
My eyes changing colour
When you talk of others
Not just any colour
It’s just another number

Have you ever
Have you ever, ever (x4)

Remembering my father’s speech
Would you rather I left
Misinterpreting everything that I did
This could be so awkward
This is getting awkward
Your shins are sweating like mine
But there is hope in the end

Have you ever
Have you ever, ever (x4)

You know why,
Why i’m so shy (x2)

Why you asking me why i’m so shy (x2)

You all think you know me
And I am the same
As all the other boys
You seem to blame
You lie and you cheat
You’re full of deceit
And now you’re wondering why i'm so shy
