[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
'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
Oh I don't
Don't want to drown you in the deep end
They say it's hard for you to tеach an old dog a new trick
Well, I guess if thе shoe fits

[Verse 2]
Avoiding confrontation like a moving target
Using humor to make it ricochet
Lay all the things I never said out on the carpet
Second guess I’ma throw 'em all away
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not that I don't love you, not like I don't trust you
Got this baggage that I'm scared could fall and crush you
I got too comfortable and never fully honest
Try my hardest

[Chorus]
'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
Oh 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)

[Bridge]
I swear, I'm tryna
Let you into my head
I'm scared you'll find
Someone you wish you never met

[Chorus]
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
Oh 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
