Guidebook

Flip my pages, I'm such an open book
except for when you try to read between the lines
but when I'm all alone you know
Sometimes I say those three words out loud
Then your name comes to mind
Did it follow where my heart went
Going to my lips to ask you please be mine
but then I know where I go my doubts come running
telling me you don't feel the same
Still I can't lie, I like that you got me confused and wondering

Can I be loved now?
I don't know
Can you relieve my doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me, how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do
Do you want me now?
I don't know
Can I relieve your doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me, how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do

Do you like me like that?
are you just being nice?
oh wait, don't answer that
Knowing hurts more sometimes
but do I really mind the pain this time?
I said those three words out loud
then your name came to mind again and again
I speak in riddles, but you're the answer to every single one of them
Do we need time to think?
Are we on the brink of being together?
Cause I can't lie, I hate that I got you confused and wondering still

Can I be loved now?
I don't know
Can you relieve my doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do
Do you want me now?
I don't know
Can I relieve your doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do

Be the reason why I feel alone
Make me question why I feel so strongly
Make me doubt that all I feel is gone
Be the one to make me want you to hold me

Be the reason why I feel alone
Make me question why I feel so strongly
Make me doubt that all I feel is gone
Be the one to make me ask

Can I be loved now?
I don't know
Can you relieve my doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do
Do you want me now?
I don't know
Can I relieve your doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do
Do you love me now?
I don't know
Can I relieve your doubts?
I hope so
Ask if I can't love me how can I love you?
Well I'm a guidebook of things that I shouldn't do
