Don′t want to waste another day
Don't want to let them fade away
I don′t know why I shut my mouth
Don't want to live in fear and doubt

All I am is based on who you are
I don't want to pretend
I′ll drown in another′s arms
Every word in my mind

Every word in my mind
I'm dying to recite
Every word I want to say to you
Every word in my mind
Don′t ever come out right
And I can't turn inside out

So I put you in a song
So I can sing to you all night long
But we′ll forever live in my songs

'Cause I′m only brave when you're gone

I'm losing sleep every night
Still, I pretend to be alright
I wonder if it′s all planned out
Or is it only wonder you′re always on my mind

'Cause all I am is based on who you are
I don′t want to pretend
I'll drown in another′s arms

Every word in my mind
I'm dying to recite
Every word I want to say to you
Every word in my mind
Don′t ever come out right
And I can't turn inside out

And what if I am supposed to be with you?
What if it is supposed to be us two?
And what if I wait until I'm ready to tell you
And I can′t find you?

Every word in my mind
I′m dying to recite
Every word I want to say to you
Every word in my mind
Don't ever come out right
And I can′t turn inside out

So I put you in a song
So I can sing to you all night long
But we'll forever live in my songs

′Cause I'm only brave when you′re gone
