[Verse 1] I need you to know me More than snapshots on a screen I need for you to see me Every crack and in-between I need for you to hear me When my voice shakes in the dark I’m standing in the doorway Holding out my heart [Chorus] I need you to know I need you to know I need you to know I love you I’m running out of ways To hide what’s in my chest I’m tangled in the truth I need you to know I need you to know I need you to know I love you [Verse 2] I rehearse it in the mirror Then lose courage when you’re near All the words turn into silence All the colors disappear But your name is in my breathing Every morning Every night I’m scared of how it changes us I’m more scared if I never try [Chorus] I need you to know I need you to know I need you to know I love you I’m standing in this room With nowhere else to run My future’s in this view I need you to know I need you to know I need you to know I love you [Bridge] If I say it Will you stay Will you turn Will you walk away I’m shaking but I’m stepping through All this fear to get to you (oh) [Chorus] I need you to know I need you to know I need you to know I love you Whatever happens next At least I finally said The only thing that’s true I need you to know I need you to know I need you to know I love you
