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.


(chorus)

But the words get in the way

There's so much i want to say

But it's locked deep inside

And is 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.


(chorus)


I'm trying to say i love you

But the words get in the way.
