Words Songtext

von Darren Criss

I could write and books in my sleep, without thinking too deep
I could speak for a hundred days,
I could explain a concept that you didn't get
And I would do it in one thousand ways

I could write you a poem Shakespeare or Cole would have called their own
But everything changes now that you're mine
And all of my words are left behind
Cause no matter how hard I try my tongue is still tied by you

I just wanna tell you I love you, but it's the hardest thing to say
I turn my head upside down, trying find some kinda way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard,
I try to be a poet, but since I met you, I've never been good with words

Just to be specific and be explicit, never thought I'd concentrate
Do you have any idea what it's like to feel something you just can't articulate?
But baby now that I've heard, the trick to the verse, could have done for you
But everything changes now that you're mine
All of my words are left behind
Cause no matter how hard I try, my tongue is still tied by you

I just wanna tell you I love you, but it's the hardest thing to say
I turn my head upside down, trying find some kinda way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard,
I try to be a poet, but since I met you, I've never been good with words

There's only so many different ways
There's only so many only old cliches
That I can do, so what can I do,
Tell me what can I do

I just wanna tell you I love you, but it's the hardest thing to say
I turn my head upside down, trying find some kinda way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard,
I try to be a poet, but since I met you
I just wanna tell you I love you, but it's the hardest thing to say
I turn my head upside down, trying find some kinda way
Just to tell you I need you, in a way that will be heard,
I try to be a poet, but since I met you
I try to be a poet, but since I met you
I promise you I'm a poet, but since I met you
I've never been good with words
