words

i wanna tell you you're beautiful

in a way that you have not heard before

but i don't think it's gonna work

cause i'm not good with words. i wanna tell you you're the reason why

the earth spins and the stars hang in the sky

but i don't think it's gonna fly

cause i'm not good with words. if only i could find a way

to say it like them poets say

sing a sweet and simple serenade

directly to your heart. if only i could speak aloud

just what i feel when you're around

i'd finally confess my love in verse

but i'm not good with words. if i was just like shakespeare

whispering sweet sonnets in your ear

i'd tell you everything you want to hear

but i'm not good with words. if only i could find a way

to say it like them poets say

sing a sweet and simple serenade

directly to your heart. if only i could speak aloud

just what i feel when you're around

i'd finally confess my love in verse

but i'm not good with words. sentences or conversation

oh words they only bring me complication

and when it comes to love

i'm useless just full of bad excuses

and confessions gone unheard. if only i could find a way

to say it like them poets say

sing a sweet and simple serenade

directly to your heart. if only i could speak aloud

just what i feel when you're around

i'd finally confess my love in verse

but i'm not good with words. words
