lyrics

Tell me what to say
Help me find a way
To catch your eye
Oh how I've tried for you to see me
The doubt kicks in
I'm stuttering again
as your brown eyes reflect a nervous guy
And I've got no chance

Even if I bought you flowers
You still wouldn't know my name
Even if I told you everything
I know you wouldn't feel the same
I just keep my hopes up high but I don't know why I
Play the same old game
Of you and I

As I lie awake
I reflect on mistakes
I went to slow
And now I'll never know if things would have gone my way
So I forgot what you said
I turned away instead
To ease the pain
But it was all in vain
Cause now I'm back where I first started and

Even if I bought you flowers
You still wouldn't know my name
Even if I told you everything
I know you wouldn't feel the same
I just keep my hopes up high but I don't know why I
Play the same old game
Of you and I

I hope it hurts to find your permanence
You never felt a thing for this
And I don't know why I hurt myself by coming to hit and miss again

Even if I bought you flowers
You still wouldn't know my name
Even if I said it all

Even if I bought you flowers
You still wouldn't know my name
Even if I told you everything
I know you wouldn't feel the same
I just keep my hopes up high but I don't know why I
Play the same old game
Of you and I

(I hope it hurts to find your permanence
You never felt a thing for this
And I don't know why I hurt myself by coming back again
I hope it hurts to find your permanence
You never felt a thing for this)
