Put my emotions in a box up in the closet
Out of sight but never out of mind
Every open-ended question I've been dodging
Look away and never in the eye
It's not that I don't love you, not like I don't trust you
Got these habits that I swear I'm tryna undo
I got too comfortable and never fully honest
Try my hardest
'Cause I know you won't think it's stupid
But I make excuses for keeping the truth in
I'm so afraid to be foolish
Pretend to be clueless I guess it's the hubris
No I don't
Don't want to drown you in the deep end
They say it's hard for you to teach an old dog a new trick
Well I guess if the shoe fits
Avoiding confrontation like a moving dog, yeah
Use your humour to make it ricochet
Lay all the things I never said out on the carpet
Second guess and throw 'em all away
It's not that I don't love you, not like I don't trust you
Got this baggage there I'm scared could fall in 'cause you
I got too comfortable and never fully honest
Try my hardest
'Cause I know you won't think it's stupid
But I make excuses for keeping the truth in
I'm so afraid to be foolish
Pretend to be clueless I guess it's the hubris
But I don't
Don't want to drown you in the deep end
They say it's hard for you to teach an old dog a new trick
Well I guess if the shoe fits (Guess if the shoe fits)
I swear
I'm tryna let you into my head
I'm scared
To fight
Someone you wish you never me-e-e-t
I know you won't think it's stupid
But I make excuses for keeping the truth in
I'm so afraid to be foolish
Pretend to be clueless I guess it's the hubris
But I don't
Don't want to drown you in the deep end
They say it's hard for you to teach an old dog a new trick
Well I guess if the shoe fits
