[Verse 1]
I know something's wrong
'Cause you're staring out the window
And your one word answers give it all away
If you can read my face
I'm lost in outer space
And I'm looking for a clue to bring me back to you

[Chorus]
'Cause we both feel the pain
We just say it different ways
Hear my heart before you hear my lips
'Cause I can't win this game
If I don't know how to play
Don't give up just try and understand
I'm doing the best I can

[Verse 2]
I know it's been hard
And you get so frustrated
Looking for a reason or a rhyme to how I think
I don't know how to help
So I'll repeat myself
Hoping the words will come out, different every time

[Chorus]
'Cause we both feel the pain
We just say it different ways
Hear my heart before you hear my lips
'Cause I can't win this game
If I don't know how to play
Don't give up just try and understand
I'm doing the best I can

[Bridge]
Love will turn you into things you never thought you'd be
And love will make you look at things you didn't want to see
I know that it feels just like we're drifting out to sea
But love is holding on, and all the world is doubting you believe

[Chorus]
'Cause we both feel the pain
We just say it different ways
Hear my heart before you hear my lips
'Cause I can't win this game
If I don't know how to play
Don't give up just try and understand
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
