Creep

I'm scared to open up too much, yet I want you to see me for who I am
Overloaded with so much crap I can't see straight
Praying you understand why I just can't seem... to burden you
You're more than understanding
And that's why I'll never be good enough for you
So I keep you at a safe distance
Because in your presence, I am lost
And behind this correspondence
I can keep some form of sanity
Without admitting how I really feel
I know you sometimes don't understand why I keep my secrets
You, of all people, would understand the most
If I only had the courage
Instead, I'm just a creep

Oh, you say that you don't think I am
But I know me better than you do
I want to tell you everything about me
And let you decide
I put on a good facade, but you quickly saw through it
Didn't you?
Because you've been there, too, haven't you?
I know I can trust you
It's myself I don't trust
Instead I am a gutless wonder
I'm just a creep

If only I felt I was worthy of someone like you
Instead of like a creep
