I say I love you, I say I need you

I try so many ways to say how my heart beats for you

I say I'm always thinking about you

There's no way I'd want to face this life without you

And even though these words come from deep inside me

There's so much more I don't have the words to say



'Cause what I really want to say

Is what the sun would say to the sky

For giving it a place to come alive

But my words get in the way

Of what I really want to say

Oh, what I really want to say



I know that sometimes my words can be as hard as stone

And sometimes my words have left you feeling so alone

So please forgive me and hear the words I'm saying now

I will spend my whole life looking for a way somehow

To let you know just how precious you are to me

I'll use the best words I know but I still won't say it all



It's like a tale too great to be told

It's something that my heart can only show

I'm gonna take my whole life

Just to let you know

What I really want to say

Oh, what I really want to say to you

What I really want to say

Oh, what I really want to say
