I realize you're seein' someone new, I don't believe she knows you like I do

Your temperamental moody side, the one you always try to hide from me

But I know when you have something on your mind

You've been tryin' to tell me for the longest time

And before you break my heart in two

There's something I've been trying to say to you



Chorus:

But the words get in the way, there's so much I want to say

But it's locked deep inside, and if you look in my eyes

We might fall in love again

Won't even start to cry, and before we say goodbye

I tried to say I love you, but the words got in the way



Your heart has always been an open door

But baby I don't even know you anymore

And despite the fact it's hurting me, I know the time has come to set you free



chorus



I'm tryin' to say I love you, but the words get in the way
