about

this song is about how i isolate myself from people because i find it too hard to talk to them. anxiety is hard and talking is scary, sorry for avoiding u

lyrics

round the corner i spot someone i know
and the dread wells up inside
i'd actually really like to talk to you
but then my feet just run away in the other direction

cause i dont like the pressure
of having to say something
i don't want to talk
or for you to hear me
so i'd rather just be on my own
alone, transparent, see through

so i just stay out of their way
i think things but i don’t say
they keep themselves locked away
i try to be see through

my hands shake and i keep my head down
i try to hide cause it's scary being seen
it's not like you’ve got any bad intentions
but i just don't want the attention on me

'oh you're awful quiet, are you feeling ok?'
well yeah, i'm doing great i just don't know what to say
my mind wipes itself blank
i'm not trying to be mean
i'm just very nervous and don’t want to be seen

so i just stay out of their way
i think things but i don’t say
they keep themselves locked away
i stand beside but don’t talk
three steps behind when i walk
i try to be see through

i know its irrational but i find this so hard
but i'm better than i was and i'll be better than i am
at least i've managed it this far

so i just stay out of their way
i think things but i don’t say
they keep themselves locked away
i stand beside but don’t talk
three steps behind when i walk
i try to be see through
it's not as easy as i thought
i guess i've always been see through
makes me avoid even trying to talk
and i just keep being see through
