Call me dumb
I know it’s true
You caught me on my way out
I was gathering my things
The train’s delayed
I’m stuck with you
You see me as a coward
But can’t say it to my face, oh
I wish you didn’t know me
So I could start on a blank slate
If I was never weak with you
Would you leave me to my ways?
No, I’ve been here
Sitting looking pretty in the student union
I did myself up
Cover what makes me human
I’m tryna catch your glance
Catching nothing but lumens
From the spotlight fixed on me
From the time you said “lighten up”
And I’ve never looked back
I’ve been doing this wrong
And you know how to prove it
Been twisting my words
Getting caught in confusion
The focal point’s smaller
Now we’re lost in diffusion
'Cause you widened your beam
And now everything feels so wrong
I wish we never lost our focus
I'm still processing my feelings
In the back of the darkroom
All now overwritten with your silhouette
When you brought your light to me
Before I could stop you
So, I’ve been here
Sitting looking pretty in the student union
I did myself up
Cover what makes me human
I’m tryna catch your glance
Catching nothing but lumens
From the spotlight fixed on me
From the time you said “lighten up”
And I’ve never looked back
I’ve been doing this wrong
And you know how to prove it
Been twisting my words
Getting caught in confusion
The focal point’s smaller
Now we’re lost in diffusion
'Cause you widened your beam
And now everything feels so wrong
