lyrics

I thought I figured out this honesty thing,
But maybe it's just not true,
If i couldn't learn to love myself,
Then how could I say, "i love you."

There was always something different,
About the way you spoke,
And I just never kept up.

I always worried that you'd figure out,
My heart and go.
What kind of secrets would I spill when we were drunk?

So I'd always push my love full force,
So I'd always fill the calm before the storm.
I'd always beg for just a moment more,
Before I came through.
We couldn't ever stay so long.
We'd always have to say "so long."
Before I said "I love you."

You couldn't tame the shrew,
With any demand you spoke.
Was it something that I knew?
Was it something that I wrote?

There was always something different,
About the way you spoke,
And I just never kept up.

I always worried that you'd figure out,
My heart and go.
What kind of secrets did I spill when i was drunk?

We'd always need some excuse before we try.
We'd always need some reward before we came through.
I'd always beg for just a moment more,
Before I swept in full force.
We'd always have to say goodbye,
We'd always have to say goodbye,
Before I love you.

I thought I figured out this honesty thing,
But maybe it's just not true,
If i couldn't learn to love myself,
Then how could I say, "i love you."

So I'd always push my love full force,
So I'd always fill the calm before the storm.
I'd always beg for just a moment more,
Before I came through.
We never could stay so long.
We'd always have to say "so long."
Before I said "I love you."
