If I were to tell you the truth
Well I'm afraid
That you'd run and fade from view
So I say that I'm alright
And I say that I'm doing fine
It's the easy thing and what I do
Instead of
Saying what I should to you
If you were to read all what I've wrote
Well I'm hesitant
That you'd think of me as somebody else
So I say these are my wondering thoughts
And I still write to hold them close
It's the easy thing and what I do
Instead of
Saying what I should to you
That I told myself
Never to feel again
Not to open up
And save me from that pain
But love now
It doesn't work that way
And it's you who I'm letting in
Can you understand
How I think
You can make me be a better man
So I'm all in
To start again
But I can only do all of this
If you understand
How I told myself
Never to feel again
Not to open up
Save me from that pain
But love now
It doesn't work that way
And it's you who I'm letting in
Tell me you understand
How I told myself
Never to feel again
Not to open up
And save me from another heartbreak
But love now
It doesn't work that way
And it's you who I'm letting in
Tell me you understand
Tell me you understand
Not to open up
And save me from
Another heartbreak
Do you understand
Tell me you understand
