I've been up, up all night
I've been pacing, lost and tongue-tied
What's the word to reveal
All the unsaid things I feel
But I keep quiet, can't even try it
If you knew, knew the truth
Where I go at night without you
If you saw, saw the scars
And heard all the ugly parts
Would you still want me? How it haunts me
Darling, whenever I try to tell you
My voice gets caught
I've been breaking down doors to reach you
But the words stay locked
But we need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
When I woke, woke today
Heart was racing from a dream where
I was whole, wholly yours
No more secrets, no more trapdoors
Underneath me, to defeat me
If I cut out my heart
Is it one more ugly part
Or if it's out, in the light
I can't say for sure but it might
Just reveal me, oh the real me
Darling, whenever I try to tell you
My voice gets caught
I've been breaking down doors to reach you
But the words stay locked
But we need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
We need to
Listen: Don't listen to me
When I'm fishing for what I might mean
Let my actions speak for me
Free me, let's dream of a dream
Where it's easy, to say what we mean
Not these empty words
Where everything hurts
And all I can do is scream
Darling, whenever I try to tell you
My voice gets caught
I've been breaking down doors to reach you
But the words stay locked
But we need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
So we're here, hear me out
Here's the part that I've left out
I'm gonna tell you
Okay, I'm gonna tell you
