Couldn't Just Tell You

Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didn't have to make me feel like a fool
When I try to say I feel the way that I do
I want to talk with you
And make it loud and clear
Though you don't care to hear but

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel
I can't keep it bottled up inside
And couldn't it pretend that it's no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide

Something sure doesn't seem right to me
When you can turn your back
whenever you please
And you stroll away, calmly bid me adieu
Why can't talk with you
And put it in you ear
though you don't care to hear but

Hear me out
Why don't you lend me an ear
You've got no reason so fear
I'll make it perfectly clear
I love you

I don't come whining
with my heart on my sleeve
I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true
I got to talk with you
And then I'll make it clear.
