What I Wanted To Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I should've done something again
I did nothing watch us separate
What should I do now run and chase you down I can't hesitate
Cause all I wanted to say was something real
All I want you to know is how I feel
All I wanted to give was my heart
But I'm stuck here at the start
It's on the tip of my tongue but I'm still afraid
Sometimes the only things words do is get in the way
Sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to say
But I don't want to lose you, drive you away
I dont want to confuse you, I need you to say
Only wish you knew what I wanted to say
Only wish you knew what I wanted to say
My hands are shaking
I'm yours for the taking
Dont you hesitate
Please just do one thing
One small sign something
Lets jump off the edge
Cause all I wanted you to say was something real
All I want you to know is how you feel
All I wanted you to give is your heart
But I'm stuck here at the start
It's on the tip of my tongue but I'm still afraid
Sometimes the only things words do is get in the way
Sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to say
But I don't want to lose you, drive you away
I dont want to confuse you, I need you to say
Only wish you knew what I wanted to say
Only wish you knew what I wanted to say
It's on the tip of my tongue but I'm still afraid
Sometimes the only things words do is get in the way
Sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to say
But I don't want to lose you
I don't wanna lose you
No I don't wanna lose you
No I don't wanna lose you
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But i never wanted to
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But I never wanted to
I don't wanna lose you
No I don't wanna lose you
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But i never wanted to
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But I never wanted to
