I talk too fast
Trip on my truth
Say the wrong thing
When I’m scared of you
I laugh too loud
When the room goes quiet
I’m throwing jokes
At my own silence

D-d-d-d-don’t think badly of me
When I’m clumsy with my heart
When my hands shake on the keys
Trying to give you every part
If I come off cold or mean
It’s just armor you can’t see
Please believe the in‑between
Don’t think badly of me

I read your face
Like a bad translation
Turn one small frown
Into condemnation
I pull away first
So it doesn’t hurt later
Then lie awake
Replaying every layer

D-d-d-d-don’t think badly of me
When I’m clumsy with my heart
When my hands shake on the keys
Trying to give you every part
If I come off cold or mean
It’s just armor you can’t see
Please believe the in‑between

Don’t think badly of me
I wasn’t taught
How to stay
Just how to leave
I’m learning slow
How to trust what you believe
So if I break
In the middle of your street
Promise me this
You’ll remember what I mean

D-d-d-d-don’t think badly of me
When I’m clumsy with my heart
When my hands shake on the keys
Trying to give you every part
If I come off cold or mean
It’s just armor you can’t see
If you see the in‑between
Maybe you could stay and breathe

D-d-d-d-don’t think badly of me
When I’m clumsy with my heart
When my hands shake on the keys
Trying to give you every part
If I come off cold or mean
It’s just armor you can’t see
Please believe the in‑between
Don’t think badly of me

Hold the broken
Hold the plea
Don’t think badly of me
