[Verse 1]
There I go again, fumbling with words
Caught up in my head, feeling even worse
Dropping every glance, flinching with each touch
I lose at every chance, hate this oh so much
Don't think I can take it anymore
[Chorus]
Ooh, how I wish I was stronger
So I'd never have to let you down again
I wish I was sweeter
I might be more to you than just a friend
And I wish I could tell you how I feel
But I'm hopelessly lost
[Verse 2]
Oh what have I done? Must I always lie?
I told you I was drunk and normally I'm shy
All the more I try, a tangled web to weave
I've just realized the one who's trapped is me
Don't think I can handle this much more
[Chorus]
Ooh, how I wish I was stronger
So I'd never have to let you down again
I wish I was sweeter
I might be more to you than just a friend
And I wish I could tell you how I feel
But I'm hopelessly lost
[Verse 3]
Have I paid the cost of disregarding reciprocity?
All the lines got crossed and now we
Can't go back to how things used to be
It's all my mistake, but what can I say?
I leapt in blind with no guarantee
Thought I had a grip on it for sure
[Chorus]
Ooh, how I wish I was stronger
So I'd never have to let you down again
I wish I was sweeter
I might be more to you than just a friend
And I wish I could tell you how I feel
But I'm hopelessly lost
