[Verse] ADADA I just know your name but still just the same DE I see you in my dreams at night, I see you in my food when I eat ADADA I see your pretty mug, I think that I'm in love DE If you kissed me I would blow up, if I kissed you would you throw up? DEAEDE I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition"
[Verse] I sit and look at you and think of what to do After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here And I try to speak, my mouth's dry, I'm weak I'm sure you've got a boyfriend and he's probably a lawyer or something I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition" cause

[Bridge] F#DAE I can't look to the other side of the room and you're ignoring me F#DA You must think that I'm gay because I can't find a way to ask you out E But I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
