8 Letters
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.
You know me the best
You know my worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge
That, right there, is the scariest feeling
Opening and closing up again
I've been hurt so I don't trust
Now here we are, staring at the ceiling
I've said those words before, but it was a lie
And you deserve to hear them a thousand times
If all it is it eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is it eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space?
If all it is it eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
Isn't it amazing how almost every line on our hands align
When your hand's in mine
It's like I'm whole again, isn't that a sign
I should speak my mind
I've said those words before, but it was a lie
And you deserve to hear them a thousand times
If all it is it eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is it eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space?
If all it is it eight letters
Why is it so hard to say? (Whoa oh, yeah)
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind
When I close my eyes
If all it is it eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is it eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space?
If all it is it eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is it eight letters
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind (it's only you)
When I close my eyes
If all it is it eight letters
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind (you)
When I close my eyes
If all it is it eight letters
