Don't leave yet

it's still early and I haven't even said a word

and I'm hoping that I might upset you by saying what I want to

'cause it's not like you don't know I've fallen for you

but it's in my head and that's where you can't see it

and I thought that maybe if I had to bite the tips of my fingers I could stumble over words

and tell you just how far before I hit the ground

and I'm the type to think of all the wrong things to say

and I will shut myself up and I'll never come out-

I'll close all my doors and only show you the black spots where my eyes once were-

I can say this-

I can collect myself deep down and then come out punching

and I'll scream out loud
