Things I’ll Never Say…

Things I’ll Never Say – Avril Lavigne

I’m tugging at my hair
I’m pulling at my clothes
I’m trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I’m staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I’m searching for the words inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]
(Cause) I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

[Chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I wanna blow you… away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

It don’t do me any good
It’s just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What’s on my mind
If it ain’t coming out
We’re not going anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

What’s wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I’ve got nothing to say

[Pre-Chorus]

Guess I’m wishing my life away with these things I’ll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I wanna blow you…away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
These things I’ll never say

How can there be so much truth in just one song?

Sometimes I feel like I have too much passion and I don’t know how to filter it to various people I encounter throughout the day. Everything gets all jumbled up in my mouth and I say things all funky and strange.

To the guys that I’ve liked, I get so bottled up inside because I want to say other things, but I know that they aren’t ready to hear them…so I stay quiet and it makes me come off like I’m not interested in them. Then all hell breaks loose and I get sad because they run away.

Oh boy, I need to find a way to let my feelings come out. I need to learn how to calm down and say things straight.
