You know me the best You know my worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge That, right there, is the scariest feeling Opening and closing up again I've been hurt so I don't trust Now here we are, staring at the ceiling I've said those words before but it was a lie And you deserve to hear them a thousand times If all it is is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters Why am I in my own way? Why do I pull you close And then ask you for space If all it is is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? Isn't it amazing how almost every line on our hands align When your hand's in mine It's like I'm whole again, isn't that a sign I should speak my mind I've said those words before but it was a lie And you deserve to hear them a thousand times If all it is is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters Why am I in my own way? Why do I pull you close And then ask you for space? If all it is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? When I close my eyes It's you there in my mind When I close my eyes If all it is is eight letters (I close my eyes) Why is it so hard to say? (You there in my mind) If all it is is eight letters (I close my eyes) Why am I in my own way? If all it is is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters Why am I in my own way? Why do I pull you close And then ask you for space If all it is is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters When I close my eyes It's you there in my mind When I close my eyes If all it is is eight letters (I close my eyes) Why is it so hard to say? (You there in my mind) If all it is is eight letters (I close my eyes) Why am I in my own way? If all it is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters Why am I in my own way? If all it is is eight letters Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters Why am I in my own way?
