What I Was Really Saying Verse 1 I said you never really listen But that's not quite it I've said a hundred real things And watched them miss Not because you were careless Not because you didn't try I think we never built the room Where those things could land somewhere Pre-Chorus I've been editing myself for months Giving you the safer version Waiting for the moment That felt worth the risk But the risk kept feeling bigger And the moments kept on passing Until I said it like an accusation When it was really just a wish Chorus What I was really saying Was I miss being known What I was really saying Was I'm tired of feeling alone With you right here beside me Not because you went away What I was really saying when I said that Was please hear me today Just hear me today Verse 2 You heard my words I know you did You just missed what they meant And I haven't shown you how to hear The language that I meant So maybe this is on us both A room we never learned to build Where real things land and stay a while Before they get dismissed Pre-Chorus I'm not done reaching I'm just tired of the miss I'm telling you the real thing now Instead of what's easier than this Chorus What I was really saying Was I miss being known What I was really saying Was I'm tired of feeling alone With you right here beside me Not because you went away What I was really saying when I said that Was please hear me today Just hear me today Bridge It's not about the argument Or whose turn it was to hear It's about two people learning How to finally make it clear Make it clear Make it clear Outro Hear me today That's what I was saying Hear me today And most important, remember you are extraordinary
