lyrics

I feel like I’m so broken
I think I’ll stay in bed
And I leave so much unspoken
Wish you could hear what’s in my head
It’d change you
But I don’t know what to do

And I stand outside in plain view
People I know just pass me by
And they say that they don’t mean to
But I know it’s just a lie
And that’s why I hide
And keep this all inside

Cause I’m the queen
Of awkward situations
Endless hesitation
I never can reveal
How I really feel
It’s a crown that I don’t want
Her majesty the mousy savant

I neglect everyone I care about
Cause I don’t want to be a pain
I think I’ve got it figured out
But I’ve got the rules for the wrong game
And I lose every time
A victim of my own crime

I’m the queen
Of awkward situations
Endless hesitation
I never can reveal
How I really feel
It’s a crown that I don’t want
Her majesty the mousy savant
