I realize you're seeing 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 trying 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

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
I won't even start to cry
And before we say goodbye
I tried to say "I love you"
But the words get 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

I'm trying to say I love you
But the words get in the way
