[Verse 1] You laugh like rain on glass In the back of my mind I rehearse your name Like a line I can’t leave behind You ask me how I’ve been And I say “I’m fine” But my hands give me away Every single time [Pre-Chorus] I hold it in my chest Like a match in a jar One little spark And I’m shining too hard I look at you and freeze Then I look away ’Cause the truth tastes sweet But it scares me to say [Chorus] I love you, I love you That’s the one thing (That’s the one thing) I love you, I love you But my lips won’t sing (Oh, my lips won’t sing) Boy, if you knew You’d change my world I’m just a paper heart In your hands, boy I love you, I love you But I can’t say it yet [Verse 2] Your hoodie on the chair And your laugh in the hall Every little detail Lingers after class I act like it’s nothing When you smile my way But my whole brave face Turns soft and shakes [Pre-Chorus] I hold it in my chest Like a match in a jar One little spark And I’m shining too hard I look at you and freeze Then I look away ’Cause the truth tastes sweet But it scares me to say [Chorus] I love you, I love you That’s the one thing (That’s the one thing) I love you, I love you But my lips won’t sing (Oh, my lips won’t sing) Boy, if you knew You’d change my world I’m just a paper heart In your hands, boy I love you, I love you But I can’t say it yet [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll stop running Maybe one night My voice stops shaking If I say your name And my knees go weak Promise me you’ll still Look at me [Final Chorus] I love you, I love you That’s the one thing (That’s the one thing) I love you, I love you Now I let it sing (Yeah, I let it sing) Boy, if you knew You’d know my world I’m not paper anymore I’m here, boy I love you, I love you And I’m saying it now
