VERSE

Where do I start?
What’s a good place to begin?
The beginning seems like ages ago.

Will this make sense?
Can I be clear in my thoughts?
And is it right to tell you all that I know?

You know where we’ve been,
You seen all the things I’ve seen
So emotions before this shouldn’t get in the way.

Where’s my confidence?
Where’s the man I know I am?
(I’ve) Got the mouth and the voice, but where’s the words I need to say?


CHORUS

I try
To tell you how I feel,
To give you what my heart has to offer
And make it ring true,

But why try
To make a point that you
Already seem to want to acknowledge
But won't follow through?


VERSE

This has gone on
Gone on for many a year
A relationship that’s common, but wrong

Thousands of words
So many nights in your arms
And each time it was a beautiful song

But each and every time
I find strength to speak my mind
(And) try to show you that we could make this something so right

You find some excuse
Try to talk around the truth
And we’re back where we started on that very first night


CHORUS

I try
To tell you how I feel,
To give you what my heart has to offer
And make it ring true,

But why try
To make a point that you
Already seem to want to acknowledge
But won't follow through?


BRIDGE

These feelings run deeper than you or me;
You know what we have and what we could be.
But this always has been a two-way street,
So walking away might be what I need (to do because)...


CHORUS

I try
To tell you how I feel,
To give you what my heart has to offer
And make it ring true,

But why try
To make a point that you
Already seem to want to acknowledge
But won't follow through?
