Flashes are inside your, you know, you get insight and you know something, you know? But you don't wanna say
it out loud because you're kind of afraid that it's not gonna be...
[Verse 1]
Tell you I don't Ebwant youF  
When all GmI really wanna do is tell you that I miEbss youF  Gm  
It's easy to approaEbch you, Fyou nevGmer make it hard to do
But honestly, I'Ebm scared of the truth thaFt I'm not for the likGmes of you
[Pre-Chorus]
I push you aEbway, but I want you Fto stay, got nGmo excuse
Circling 'round the lEbies 'cause I can't teFll it straight
So here's tGmhe truth
[Chorus]
I don't know wEbhy, wFhy, why, GmI'm so afraid to tEbry, trFy, trGmy
You're everything that perEbfect defFinesGm

[Verse 2]
Every time you sEbave me, FI wait for yGmou to come break me
And wake me from this dayEbdream (OFoh-ohGm)
But I don't wanna losEbe you, Fooh, I'd be Gma fool to
'Cause honestly, there's nEbobody else that cFompares to the liEbkes of you
