Intro: Instrumental
Verse 1
I've held these words for longer than I should
Watched the years go by, still never said them good
Every time we talk, I feel it rising in my chest
But something always stops me from putting it to rest
Pre-Chorus
I don't need a perfect moment or the right disguise
I just need the courage to look you directly in your eyes
Chorus
If I could only tell you the truth
If I could only make you see
How deep this feeling runs inside of me
If I could only get it right this time
Lay it all out, leave nothing behind
Girl, if I could only...
You'd finally hear what's on my mind
Verse 2
I've smiled through conversations, played it cool and light
While every part of me was fighting just to make it right
You've always had a piece of me I never got to claim
And I'm tired of pretending this is just a friendly flame
Pre-Chorus
I don't need a perfect moment or the right disguise
I just need the courage to look you in the eyes
Chorus
If I could only tell you the truth
If I could only make you see
How deep this feeling runs inside of me
If I could only get it right this time
Lay it all out, leave nothing behind
Girl, if I could only...
You'd finally hear what's on my mind
Breakdown
Bridge
I've spent half a lifetime
Loving you in silence
What good is a heart
If it never gets to speak?
I'm done with the quiet
I'm done with the almost
Tonight I'm gonna say it
Even if my voice shakes
Instrumental Interlude
Drop
Chorus
If I could only tell you the truth
If I could only make you see
How deep this feeling runs inside of me
If I could only get it right this time
Lay it all out, leave nothing behind
Girl, if I could only...
You'd finally hear what's on my mind
Outro
If I could only...
If I could only...
Girl, If I could own-leeeeee...
You'd hear...what's... on my mind.
End
