Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Oh don't say it, just don't say it
Well ah shit, it just came out
Once again, couldn't hold it in
and that's my tragic flaw without a doubt
She's wearing jogging pants and she's buying sweatshirts
And you know that's fine with me
Because that might cover the chance
That another boy might see
Chorus:
That she's beautiful
But she's going away
Everything that runs in my head
I just have to say
'Cause I'm selfish
And a bit insecure
But her reassuring words
will always be the cure
Verse 2:
And I know there's gonna be nights
There's gonna be nights on the phone
When all we'll do is fight now
But I got to remember now she's on her own
And I wanna be the good guy so bad
In fact, it's in my head
She says something that bother me just a tad
But I will hold it in instead
Chorus
Bridge
And she's beautiful
But she's on the next train
Everything that runs in my head
I just have to say
And I can't help it, no
That I'm a bit insecure
But her reassuring words
will always be the cure
