[Verse 1] You tell me what I’ve come to mean to you I search for words, but none of them will do I have a whole other life beyond this screen And I can’t say what I mean I have a life that I can’t walk away from A promise made long before you came along And though I hate the hurt I see in your eyes I can’t make promises I can’t stand behind [Pre-Chorus] You don’t know how hard this is To hold back words that almost slip They’re right there, somewhere on my tongue But saying them can’t be undone [Chorus] You say you love me, I close my eyes There’s something here I have to hide These feelings are more than I can reveal And I can’t change the life I’ve built You open your heart, and I hide behind mine I keep all my feelings locked deep inside I feel the same pull, but we’re worlds apart And I can’t let my feelings rewrite my heart [Verse 2] I read your messages late at night Then erase the words that feel so right You know the side I rarely show The things I never let the others know Behind this screen, I let you in To places I always keep hidden Then I put my feelings out of sight And step back into my other life [Pre-Chorus] You don’t know how hard this is To hold back words that almost slip They’re right there, somewhere on my tongue But saying them can’t be undone [Chorus] You say you love me, I close my eyes There’s something here I have to hide These feelings are more than I can reveal And I can’t change the life I’ve built You open your heart, and I hide behind mine I keep all my feelings locked deep inside I feel the same pull, but we’re worlds apart And I can’t let my feelings rewrite my heart [Bridge] There’s a part of me that wants to fall To forget the consequences of it all But there’s too much I could leave behind And I can’t let desire change my mind [Final Chorus] You say you love me, I close my eyes There’s something here I have to hide These feelings are more than I can reveal And I can’t change the life I’ve built You open your heart, and I hide behind mine I keep all my feelings locked deep inside I feel the same pull, but we’re worlds apart And I can’t let my feelings rewrite my heart [Outro] You say you love me I wish I could say it too But the words stay on my lips And never make it through
