I step in the room, heart beats too fast,

Faces turn, eyes lock, I ain't built for that.

Small talk, big words, too much to track,

I smile, I nod, then I wanna step back.

I try to laugh at the right time,

Try to drop the right lines,

But every step feels like a trap,

And I don't know how to dance with that.

Oh, people are scary, don't you agree?

They talk in circles, never set me free.

They smile like they mean it, but I can't tell,

If I'm walking into heaven or a social hell.

Oh, people are scary, and I'm just me.

I'd rather talk to the walls, yeah, they don't judge,

Stars don't ghost you, don't hold a grudge.

Crowds like a current, they push, they pull,

Too many voices, I'm losing control.

I try to nod at the right time,

Try to fake I'm just fine,

But all the faces start to blur,

And I forget what words are for.

Oh, people are scary, don't you agree?

They talk in circles, never set me free.

They smile like they mean it, but I can't tell,

If I'm walking into heaven or a social hell.

Oh, people are scary, and I'm just me.

Maybe I'll learn, maybe I'll try,

Maybe someday I won't wanna hide.

But man, it's hard when the voices shout,

Like a game where I don't know how to play out.

Oh, people are scary, but maybe not you,

Maybe you feel just the same way too.

If we don't have to fake it, if we don't pretend,

Maybe people aren't so scary in the end.

Still, I think I'll take it slow,

You talk first, I'll let you go.
