lyrics

I don't have the words that you deserve.
My tongue got tied,
Trying to combine
What I think you need to hear
With what I can bring myself to say.

I want you to feel like you're worth it,
And know it never was your fault,
But it's too hard to get across
And you're too set on thinking that your entire being is wrong.

I don't know if talking is always the best approach,
But I'm afraid that if we don't
I won't have a way to show you that I care.

I want you to feel like you're worth it,
And know it never was your fault,
But it's too hard to get across
And you're too set on thinking that your entire being is wrong.
