[Verse 1]
Wish I had the words to tell you what's been happening
My mind's gone blank and this happens far too often
Now we're stuck in silence
I could say so many things, but don't think you'd get it
Convinced myself that no one really understands me
I could go on but don't think that I will
Don't know if I'm ever really gonna let you in
Although I know that with you that I'm safe
Gonna take some time before I let you in 'cause

[Chorus]
Why do I get so emotional?
I do not know
Why do I get so emotional all of the time?
Why do I get so emotional?
Know that it's alright but I think I'm gonna cry
Why do I get so emotional all of the time?
Why?

[Verse 2]
I should get things off my chest
But will I open up to you?
Tell you what's on my mind
I'm so tongue-tied it's silly
Ever since I was a child been that way
That's how I'm feeling
Kept myself to myself it's just how I dealt with it
I could go on but don't think that I will
Chose to let it bottle up rather than let you in
Although I know that with you that I'm safe
Gonna take some time before I let you in
[Chorus]
Why do I get so emotional?
I do not know
Why do I get so emotional all of the time?
Why do I get so emotional?
Know that it's alright but I think I'm gonna cry
Why do I get so emotional all of the time?
Why?

[Outro]
I do not know why I get so emotional
All the time
I do not know why I get so emotional
Emotional, I do not know
Why do I get so emotional?
All of the time
Why do I get so emotional?
Know that it's alright but I think I'm gonna cry
Why do I get so emotional?
All of the time
Why?
