Nervous Lyrics

	


Maybe I shouldn't try to be perfect
I confess I'm obsessed with the surface
In the end, if I fall 
Or if I get it all 
I just hope that it's worth it 

Last year I fell flat on my face
And last month I knew something should change
Last week I started over again
Ask me and I'll tell you where I've been 
Mm, don't get me started 

You got me nervous to speak
So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep telling me to hold on 
You got me nervous to move 
So I just won't prove anything to you 
You've got me turning all around 
To be who you want me to 

Shut up, be quiet
Come on, be silent
You know I'm trying 
So don't say nothing
Tell me you trust me 
And kiss me and hug me 
I would do anything for you 
You've just gotta love me 

I got an itch in my throat
I don't know which way to go 
I keep on switching, I know
I need a different approach
It's all because I want to show you that I'm so capable 

You got me nervous to speak 
So I just won't say anything at all 
I've got an urge to release
And you keep telling me to hold on 
You got me nervous to move
So I just won't prove anything to you 
You've got me turning all around
To be who you want me to 

Hush baby, don't you say another word
Hush baby, don't you say another word 
Be quiet
Hush baby, don't you say another word
Hush baby, when you do, I just get hurt

Come on baby, don't you worry anymore 
I'm not the same way that I was before
I've got goosebumps all over me 
When you're around, hard for me to breathe
Come on baby, don't you do that anymore
It's not like the days have never felt so short
My nerves, they give me a sign
Tell me I'm not fine, mm

You've got me nervous to speak
So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep telling me to hold on
You got me nervous to move
So I just won't prove anything to you
You've got me turning all around
To be who you want me to 

Hush baby, don't you say another word
Hush baby, don't you say another word
Be quiet
Hush baby, don't you say another word
Hush baby, when you do, I just get hurt
