"Words Get In The Way"


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 got in the way
your heart has always been an open door
but baby i don't even know you any more
and despite the fact it's hurting me
i know the time has come
to set you free
but the words get in the
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
