More Than Shy

She always looks down like her eyes are little secrets
 That cannot be told though she can't remember why
 She only speaks loud when there's no one 'round to listen
 And she will not laugh without cov'ring her smile
 Oh why? She asks why?
 Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy?
 Oh why? Why can't I?
 She carries half a stone with her always in her pocket
 It's rough on the edges but vibrant inside
 She says to herself, I am just like this stone is
 So why won't somebody take me by their side?
 Oh why? She asks why?
 Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy?
 Oh why? Why can't I?
 Why not start living this life I've been given
 Brilliance is nothing if you hold it inside
 Why not start giving this life I've been livin' a try
 She always has dreams of people with no faces
 Who speak brilliant thoughts to themselves late at night
 She read once in a book that all of these people
 Are just pieces of her that she tries to hide
 Oh why? She asks why?
 Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy?
 Oh why? Why don't I?
