[Verse 1]
Don't want to waste another day
Don't want to let them fade away
I don't know why I shut my mouth
Don't want to live in fear and doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
All I am is based on who you are
I don't want to pretend
I'll drown in another's arms

[Chorus]
Every word in my mind
I'm dying to recite
Every word I want to say to you
Every word in my mind
Don't ever come out right
And I can't turn inside out

So I put you in a song
So I can sing to you all night long
But we'll forever live in my songs
'Cause I'm only brave when you're gone

[Verse 2]
I'm losing sleep every night
Still, I pretend to be alright
I wonder if it's all planned out
Or is it only wonder you're always on my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I am is based on who you are
I don't want to pretend
I'll drown in another's arms

[Chorus]
Every word in my mind
I'm dying to recite
Every word I want to say to you
Every word in my mind
Don't ever come out right
And I can't turn inside out

[Bridge]
And what if I am supposed to be with you?
What if it is supposed to be us two?
And what if I wait until I'm ready to tell you
And I can't find you?

[Chorus]
Every word in my mind
I'm dying to recite
Every word I want to say to you
Every word in my mind
Don't ever come out right
And I can't turn inside out

So I put you in a song
So I can sing to you all night long
But we'll forever live in my songs
'Cause I'm only brave when you're gone
