Shyer Lyrics

I’m feeling shyer and the world gets darker
Hold yourself a little higher
Bridge that gap just further
And all your being
I’d ask you to give it up
Oh ancient feeling love
So beautifully dressed up

Feeling shyer, I’m feeling shyer
I’m feeling shyer

Maybe you should call her
Deep in the night for her
And all your being I’d ask you to give it up
I’d ask you to give it up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe this is a person who is afraid of expressing her feelings to someone she loves, probably a close friend. She gets depressed because the friend is in love with someone else. The friend speaks with her about how to express his/her feeling to this other boy/girl. She wants to be a good friend and give good advice to him/her, but she is always torn between letting her own feelings out and helping.
