(Verse 1)
I never mean to rub you the wrong way
Just trying to brighten up your day
Maybe my jokes fall a little flat
Or my stories go on a bit too long, like that?
(Chorus)
You say I annoy you, it cuts like a knife
A little jab that steals my breath, my life
I just want to make you smile, make you see
That my heart's in the right place, can't you believe me?
(Verse 2)
I overthink, I know it's true
I analyze everything I say and do
I second-guess myself, I try to change
But it seems like every time,
I'm rearranging myself to fit a mold I can't define
Just to hear those words, "you're doing fine."
(Chorus)
You say I annoy you, it cuts like a knife
A little jab that steals my breath, my life
I just want to make you smile, make you see
That my heart's in the right place, can't you believe me?
(Bridge)
Is it me? Is it you? Is it just the way
My energy clashes with your quiet day?
I wish I knew the secret, the magic key
To unlock the version of myself you want to see.
(Verse 3)
I try so hard to read between the lines
To anticipate the moments when your patience declines
But sometimes I miss the signals, I misread the signs
And then those words again, they intertwine
With all my insecurities, all my fears
That I'm just too much, throughout the passing years.
(Chorus)
You say I annoy you, it cuts like a knife
A little jab that steals my breath, my life
I just want to make you smile, make you see
That my heart's in the right place, can't you believe me?
(Outro)
I don't want to be a burden, a constant bother
Just a loving presence, a comforting other
So tell me, darling, what can I do?
To be the best version of me, just for you.
