I’m the reason.

You know I’m not to good at this. 
That whole falling for someone thing. 
I gotta say I’ve gotten pretty good at building walls. 
I try to put myself out there,
But it’s not the same. 
I keep shutting down,
Before things even take off. 

I’ve met a few ladies who have caught my eye. 
Ive made them laugh, blush, and wonder why. 
I want to be happy and have some one to hold. 
My heart stays guarded
Seems I’m damned to be alone. 

Ma’am I hope you can see,
I’m not trying to play games. 
I really am working on opening up. 
But every time I do it seems I just get stuck. 

I’ve met a few ladies who have caught my eye. 
Ive made them laugh, blush, and wonder why. 
I want to be happy and have some one to hold. 
My heart stays guarded
Seems I’m damned to be alone. 

So if I ever happen to cross your mind.  
No I’m not playing hard to get,
I reckon I just take time. 
And I know that’s not fair of me to ask. 
Reckon that’s why I know nothing ever lasts. 

I’ve met a few ladies who have caught my eye. 
Ive made them laugh, blush, and wonder why. 
I want to be happy and have some one to hold. 
My heart stays guarded
Seems I’m damned to be alone. 

Lord knows I’m tired,
Of being, alone.
