Wallflower

Take these words i give to you
Take some comfort every word is true
We have so little time
I won't waste a moment telling lies
Wallflower high

I carried on when i should have stopped
I carried on when i should have given up
I swallowed hard
I swallowed every line

Wallflower high
Stealing my light
Clouding my sight
Doubting my judgement
Against everything i knew
I could not give up hope that
One day i'd get through to you
Wallflower high.

Yesterday i met your friend
I wanted to turn my back on him
But i sacrificed my feelings
Forced myself to speak

I imagined you were in the room
Watching my reactions
I imagined you just smiling to yourself
In satisfaction

And if i did not care
If i saw your face again
I'd have gladly turned my back
And walked away

Wallflower high
Stealing my light
Clouding my sight
Doubting my judgement
Against everything i knew
I could not give up hope that
One day i'd get through to you
Wallflower high.
