I say I love you, I say I need you.
I try so many ways to say my heart beats for you.
I say I'm always thinking about you.
There's no way I'd want to face this life without you.
And even though these words came from deep inside me-
There's so much more I don't have the words to say.

I know that sometimes my words can be as hard as stone,
And sometimes my words have left you feeling so alone.
So please forgive me and the words I'm saying now.
I will spend my whole life looking for a way, somehow,
To let you know just how precious you are to me.
I'll use the best words I know, but it still won't say it all.

It's like a tale too great to be told;
It's something that my heart can only show;
I'm going to take my whole life
Just to let you know
What I really want to say.

'Cause what I really want to say
Is what the sun would say to the sky
For giving it a place to come alive
But my words get in the way
Of what I really want to say.
