I always had trouble fitting in
Let's face it, I'm just strange
Even though I learned to keep things in
I never wanted to change
Before I knew it, I couldn't say
Half the things I thought about
They crossed my mind, then hid away
And never made their way out
If I have moments of insanity
The only one hearing them is me
In my head, it gets pretty lonely
I've been silenced by my own insecurity
I'm bothering everyone, nobody cares
No wonder I've been so depressed
I don't feel like I'm worth listening to
So I'm stuck with this screening process
I must've been beyond annoying
But you helped me, believe it or not
When you let me just keep talking
For that one day, I forgot
My whole life, I've faked a smile
Spewed some shit that doesn't matter
But the night you listened for a while
It was more than useless chatter
Something happens when you're by my side
Although I couldn't tell you why,
I couldn't hold back even if I tried
And I stopped keeping everything inside
I found the girl I thought I'd lost
You can figure out the rest
You made it easy for me to be myself
With you, I don't need that screening process
Days like that are hard to find
And it ended way too fast
So I play it, pause it, press rewind
To try to make it last
I've held on tight to that memory
As I find myself just moping
Five months ago, you were done with me
Now you know why I'm still hoping
I thought that we made quite a match
For once I made someone's eggs hatch
No wonder I'm still so attached
I wish you hadn't let go of this catch
I'm back to screening everything
Just like I'd done before
And all I know's I need you
Whether we're just friends or more.
