I could write books in my sleep, without thinking too deep
I could speak for a hundred days
I could explain a concept that you didn’t get
And I would do it in one thousand ways
I could write you a poem Shakespeare or Cohen would have called their own
But everything changes now that you’re mine
And all of my words are left behind
Cause no matter how hard I try my tongue is still tied by you
I just wanna tell you I love you, it’s the hardest thing to say
I turned my head upside down, trying to find some kind of way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard
I try to be a poet, but since I met you, I’ve never been good with words
I used to be specific and be explicit with every thought I’d contemplate
Do you have any idea what it’s like to feel something you just can’t articulate?
Ain't a noun that I've heard, adjective or verb good enough for you
But everything changes now that you’re mine
And all of my words are left behind
Cause no matter how hard I try, my tongue is still tied by you
I just wanna tell you I love you, it’s the hardest thing to say
I turned my head upside down, trying to find some kind of way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard
I try to be a poet, but since I met you, I’ve never been good with words
There’s only so many different ways
There’s only so many old cliches
That I can use
So what can I do
Tell me what can I do
I just wanna tell you I love you, it’s the hardest thing to say
I turned my head upside down, trying to find some kind of way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard
I try to be a poet, but since I met you
I try to be a poet, but since I met you
I promise you I'm a poet, but since I met you
I’ve never been good with words
