What I Couldn't Admit Before

I can’t sleep
My heart thumping in my chest
I’m so confused
I need some rest

I like him
But I can’t wrap my head around it
I lied to him
When I said I didn’t

I couldn’t deal with my feelings
At the time
And they didn’t help
They just made it worse

Making fun
Mocking us
You’d think that parents
Would just grow up

But now
Things have died down
I went out on a ledge
And took the jump
Of my life

Riding through the woods
Hugging him tightly
We talked and I realized
What I couldn’t admit before

So I’m going out
On a limb baby
I can’t stop my heart
From beating this audibly
