I'm so far from where I want to be
I could walk but I won't try
I could talk but I'm too shy
You make me shake and I don't know why
There are way too many possibilities
What if I don't know what to say
If my confidence goes away
Will you talk to me anyway?

There's nothing cool about me, I have no self-esteem
I trip on air just to get people to notice me
I have anxiety when I talk to someone new
Now tell me how that would appeal to a guy like you

I have dreams I really want to tell a friend that I don't have
Will you be that friend, or will I only make you laugh
I hide behind my hands when I don't want to see
Will you push them back, or will you just make fun of me

I'm so far from where I want to be
I could walk but I won't try
I could talk but I'm too shy
You make me shake and I don't know why
There are way too many possibilities
What if I don't know what to say
If my confidence goes away
Will you talk to me anyway?

Some kids play jokes on me 'cause I believe what they say
Why do I have to be so gullible every day?
Some people I don't know spread rumors about me for fun
Yeah it's surprising that I even talk to anyone

You told me they're just jealous, they don't know my life
Somehow I did not believe you though you're always right
The truth came clear that day that you believed in me
And you've always wanted just to know a girl like me

I'm so far from where I want to be
I could walk but I won't try
I could talk but I'm too shy
You make me shake and I don't know why
There are way too many possibilities
What if I don't know what to say
If my confidence goes away
Will you talk to me anyway?
