"Too Shy to Say"

Verse 1

Bartender, pour me somethin’ strong,

She’s been runnin’ through my head all night long.

Had her right there, but I let it slide,

Kept my mouth shut, now she’s gone with the tide.

Pre-Chorus

If I had a dollar for every word I never spoke,

I’d buy her love back, but I’m flat broke.

Chorus

So I’m drinkin’ my sorrows, shot by shot,

Thinkin’ ‘bout the chances that I never got.

Lovin’ her’s the best thing I threw away,

‘Cause I was too shy to say.

Now it’s whiskey glasses and a worn-out song,

Tryin’ to forget where I went wrong.

She was my heart, but I let her slip away,

‘Cause I was too shy to say.

Verse 2

She’s dancin’ with somebody, I can’t compete,

And I’m stuck here starin’ at this empty seat.

Could’ve been me with her holdin’ my hand,

But I stayed quiet, never took that stand.

Pre-Chorus

Now it’s late-night neon, heartbreak proof,

Still wishin’ I had told her the truth.

Chorus

So I’m drinkin’ my sorrows, shot by shot,

Thinkin’ ‘bout the chances that I never got.

Lovin’ her’s the best thing I threw away,

‘Cause I was too shy to say.

Now it’s whiskey glasses and a worn-out song,

Tryin’ to forget where I went wrong.

She was my heart, but I let her slip away,

‘Cause I was too shy to say.

Bridge

One more round, bartender, make it strong,

Maybe it’ll kill what I’ve felt all along.

But the truth is clear at the end of the day—

I loved her, I just never found the words to say.

Final Chorus

So I’m drinkin’ my sorrows, shot by shot,

Thinkin’ ‘bout the chances that I never got.

Lovin’ her’s the best thing I threw away,

‘Cause I was too shy to say.

Now it’s whiskey glasses and a worn-out song,

Tryin’ to forget where I went wrong.

She was my heart, but I let her slip away,

‘Cause I was too shy to say…

Outro

Yeah, too shy to say…

Now it’s whiskey glasses, every night, all day.
