[Verse 1]
I'm a little scared you'll leave
Even though you tell me you won't
I'm a little scared of being
Someone that you're scared to love
You don't talk the way he did
And you don't say the things he did
I'm not who I was back then but still

[Verse 2]
I'm a little scared to speak
'Cause I can't find the words to say
And I don't want to make this about me
I just can't hold it in today
But you don't play the games he did
And you don't make me feel like shit
And my mom likes you more than him
But still

[Chorus]
How do I tell you that I've come to like the pain?
How do I tell you that I don't know what it means
To be happy with somebody?
Don't know anything 'bout that
Who the hell can write a love song without making it too sad?
That's all I've been
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you I got it from him?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I'm a little prone to feel a little overwhelmed with it all
'Cause you are someone I want to know
And I hope you don't let me fall
You make sure I get home safe
And you always know what to say
I feel like I found my place
But still

[Chorus]
How do I tell you that I've come to like the pain?
How do I tell you that I don't know what it means
To be happy with somebody?
Don't know anything 'bout that
Who the hell can write a love song without making it too sad?
That's all I've been
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you I got it from him?
How do I tell you I got it from him?
