Title: When I Can’t Say It [Intro] You’re beautiful You’re beautiful I hope those words stay with you When I’m no longer close enough [Verse 1] I say it when you wake up Hair falling in your eyes You tell me I’m ridiculous Then smile and turn aside I say it in the kitchen When the morning light comes through You never see what I see When I’m standing next to you [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t fear the silence As much as what it means One day these words may only live Inside your memories [Chorus] I’ll miss telling you you’re beautiful Like I’ve never said it before I’ll miss the way you shake your head And keep smiling at the floor I’ll miss watching you pretend You don’t believe a word I say When every time I call you beautiful You get more beautiful that way And when my voice is gone And I can’t say it anymore I hope you hear me somewhere Saying what I always swore You’re beautiful You’re beautiful You always were [Verse 2] I say it when you’re worried When you’re tired, when you cry When you’re staring at the mirror Finding flaws that aren’t mine I say it without thinking Like breathing in and out Because loving you has always been The easiest sound from my mouth [Pre-Chorus] And time keeps moving faster No matter how we plead So I’m leaving little echoes For the days you’ll have to keep [Chorus] I’ll miss telling you you’re beautiful Like I’ve never said it before I’ll miss the way you shake your head And keep smiling at the floor I’ll miss watching you pretend You don’t believe a word I say When every time I call you beautiful You get more beautiful that way And when my voice is gone And I can’t say it anymore I hope you hear me somewhere Saying what I always swore You’re beautiful You’re beautiful You always were [Bridge] So keep it in the hallway Keep it in our room Keep it in the quiet When the night comes down on you Keep it in the mirror When you don’t like what you see Let every time I said it Be the part of me you keep I won’t miss the places I won’t miss the things I’ll miss the little moment Right before your smile begins [Final Chorus] I’ll miss telling you you’re beautiful More than words could ever show I’ll miss giving you the truth You were always last to know I’ll miss watching your whole face change When you try to look away And every time I called you beautiful I meant more than I could say And when my voice is gone And the room is still and cold I hope you hear me clearly Like I’m there for you to hold You’re beautiful Still beautiful You always will be [Outro] You’re beautiful You’re beautiful I hope those words stay with you When I can’t say them anymore
