I’m not rude,

Nor am I shy,

But honey, I’m not gonna lie,
G# D# A#
That’s what most people seem to think.

I don’t get your jokes,

Every day,

Hey, how are you?

Oh, that question makes me blue,

Awkward silences aren’t real,

It’s just something that your mind makes up,

When you’re feeling insecure.

It just don’t feel right,

Even if we talk all night,

There’d be so much left unsaid,

Something honest, something real,

Break the surface,
D# A#
Of your mind.
