about

this song is like overly earnest but it exists so i'm gonna post it here :~) <3

lyrics

I prayed that it would rain on my parade
Cuz I don’t think I can face the sun today
Why is it that I always feel this way?
I get so blue each time I fall for you

I don’t have a handle on my feelings
And getting attached feels like a beating
I thought I had overcome this weakness
But now I’m just staring at my ceiling

Eyes fixed on my blank phone screen
Worry that you don’t like me
Feel like I’m coming down from ecstasy
I just wanna listen to you talk about things you do
I wanna squeeze your arms, take care of you

I don’t have a handle on my feelings
And getting attached feels like a beating
I thought I had overcome this weakness
But now I’m just staring at my ceiling

Forgot about this insecurity
Always repeats, each time I skip a beat
My heart’s in pieces ’til you show me that you care for me
And I don’t think that that’s the way that I should be, but when I feel this way I just can’t see the bigger picture beyond what’s in front of me

I don’t have a handle on my feelings
And getting attached feels like a beating
I thought I had overcome this weakness
But now I’m just staring at my ceiling

Staring at my ceiling
Half-wishing that I didn’t feel this
