Original Song Lyrics Fan Fiction ❯ Shy ❯ Shy ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

There's a black box in my heart
Which I've tried to break apart
Because within that chamber lies
All my confidence and all my pride
When I'm alone I hear its sound
But it stay's locked when you're around
My feelings I can't help but hide
My thoughts of you I keep inside
 
Chorus
Choking on my words I shy away
And it stays the same most everyday
I only want to say just how I feel
My wound is one that time will never heal
It's not exactly something I enjoy
It's a disease that I want to destroy
Deafened by the silence echoing around my head
Fear has shot my hope and now it's dead
My heart has stopped, my tongue is tied
It is such a curse to be this shy
 
It's stupid and pathetic
Now I'm self sympathetic
Can't quite hold my fear at arm's length
If for just one time I'd find the strength
Then I could pull myself from this
And start to learn just what life is
But I'm silenced by the sparkle in your eye
And every chance I get will pass me by

chorus x 2
 
But now I'm giving up the fight
Throw in the towel turn off the light
`Cause there's no way I'll ever change
A perfect life is out of range
There's too much getting in the way
No matter what the others say
Ain't got a chance, ain't got a shot
It can never be what it's not
Why didn't I see, it's so clear
That I could never hold you near
Not even for a single night
But it had always seemed so right
But I was wrong and I was blind
Thinking we were two of a kind
And now I sit here and fall apart
punching the box inside my heart
My hand is bruised but I don't care
My soul and dreams lie dead in there
My tears will never bring them back
My world will one day fade to black
 
Chorus x5
 
Choking on the words I want to say
I dreamt of you most every day….
