[Verse 1]
I hope this song can tell you how I feel tonight
You are my first dissection, spilling my insides
Let's write our names with the blood that's in our cheeks
So it won't wash away if I don't come home for weeks
And I don't come home

[Chorus]
I never said this would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less

[Verse 2]
I knew I should have never offered you the world
The nights are full of faces, you're the only girl
Turn my world from disaster
Make my heart start beating faster
Ask the question, here's the answer
Need you now and I can't stand this

[Chorus]
I never said this would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
[Bridge]
Just tell me how you feel
I need your voice tonight
Just tell me how you feel
Woah, woah
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less

[Chorus]
I never said this would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
