[Verse 1]
Sorry I didn't respond for a week
I was in class and then I fell asleep
Woke up late for work and left my phone at home
I didn't mean to leave you hanging there all alone
Sorry I left you on read for the day
I couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say
I don't know just yet who you take me to be
And I don't wanna spoil your impression of me

[Chorus]
Oh
This is just what I do
Pushing you away
Though I wanna be close to you

[Verse 2]
Sorry I never opened what you said
I was too busy wrapped up in my head
Don't wanna seem eager, I gotta be cool
The last thing I want is to look like a fool
Sorry I never quite seem like myself
It's just the low confidence cards I've been dealt
I'm willing to sway to any point of view
That'll make me a bit more appealing to you
[Chorus]
Oh
I hate feeling so fake
Always hiding my feelings
For someone else's sake

[Verse 3]
Sorry I didn't respond for a week
It goes without saying, I wasn't asleep
I'm just afraid that the more that I'm known
The higher the chance that I'll end up alone
Sorry I left you on read for the day
My mind likes to tell me it's better that way
I'll brush it off like it wasn't that deep
And tell you I'm sorry
I fell asleep
