[Verse 1]
I wish I was better at show-and-tell, and I wish I liked tea
I wish I wasn't bored so easily, and I wish I let you in
[Pre-Chorus]
For those of you who know me well
You know I find it hard to show-and-tell
Like the fact I'm not doing very well or if I need help
[Chorus]
I only give out the blurb and never the book
It's how I stay so fucking closed off
You've gotta work to earn my trust
'Cause I'm like a fucking closed book
You've gotta work to earn my trust
'Cause I'm like a fucking closed book
[Verse 2]
I wish I was better at show-and-tell, and I wish I let you in
I wish I didn't have anxiety, and I wish I didn't drink
[Pre-Chorus]
For those of you who know me well
You know I find it hard to show-and-tell
Like the fact I'm not doing very well or if I need help
[Chorus]
I only give out the blurb and never the book
It's how I stay so fucking closed off
You've gotta work to earn my trust
'Cause I'm like a fucking closed book
You've gotta work to earn my trust
'Cause I'm like a fucking closed book
[Bridge]
What's the point in me trying to let you in
When I'm locked out myself ?
I've got to let go and put my vulnerabilities on show
I know, I know
[Chorus]
I only give out the blurb and never the book
It's how I stay so fucking closed off
You've gotta work to earn my trust
'Cause I'm like a fucking closed book
You've gotta work to earn my trust
'Cause I'm like a fucking closed book
