Sticky situations

Because of our inability to be open, tell the truth, and accept the truth, relationships get messy. And I'm not talking just romantic ones, but all levels, from the intimate to the casual. People need to be open and be able to speak their minds, and the receivers need to be receptive and understanding.
So take a relationship between two friends, a guy and a girl. Perhaps the girl likes the guy, but the guy (whether or not he has feelings) chooses to remain casual and friendly for now. Without saying anything, the girl slowly begins to talk less and less to this guy she once liked because she assumes he doesn't feel anything for her. The guy chooses not to ask her why she talks less and less to him. The relationship goes from a great friendship to a deflated one, and the guy is left wondering what has happened.
If there was communication (verbal I mean), the situation would be clear, things would be out in the open, and whatever the outcome, things would be cool. But it being months later, the wall of silence has been built of so high and strong that an attempt to communicate on a real level would be incredibly awkward and hard to reach. If it was reached, the stakes could result in collapse, making things even worse than they had been.
This is all because people can't communicate, and it bugs me. I myself have a hard time forming a comprehensible sentence off of paper, and sometimes I have serious problems being comfortable around and conversing with people, even those I know well. So this frustration is aimed at myself above all else.
I am the guy in that situation, figuratively and in a sense physically, but I won't go into details. It's a sticky situation, one that sometimes seems so simple to solve, but other times seems like an impossible wall for me to climb. And it gets higher and higher everyday...

I'd better rest my eyes
Cuz I'm growing weary of
This point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply
Why don't you just verbalize
All the things that you're trying to say

Thought things would turn out so well
But I'm beginning to see
That instead it's trouble
Into a pattern we fell
Of prolonging the inevitable

Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

I gotta check my pride
Because I was starting to think
I was starting something good
I couldn't start it this way
I was sinking in retrospect
And understanding that I misunderstood
I'd like to make up your mind
And then this decision locks up
So tight it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
But keeping your mouth sealed shut
Rather than just opening it up

Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

And I tried
To guess what goes on in your head
Cuz in your mind
I just might find
All those things you left unsaid
And I'll try to maybe not regret anything
Later on after I'm gone
You'll wish that you
Had listened to me (listened to me)

Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are gonna hurt
We're better off this way
Why don't you
Come right out and say come right out and say
What I know you're thinking anyway
Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking
And just what it is you're thinking
