Don't Know How to Tell You

Funny but I never thought

you would be the one I'd want

way back when you walked into my life

but I fell in love somewhere

and now I can't find you there.

You don't seem to care but then you might.

I don't know how I'm going to tell you

the way I feel when I'm with you.

I don't know how I'm going to tell you

'cause I don't know what you will do.

We've talked over TV shows

and songs on the radio,

people that we know and what we've seen

but all the things I've said to you

still haven't said what I want to.

I've got to get through this space between.

I don't know how I'm going to tell you...

Rivers that might never run

lie on the tip of my tongue.

I keep getting hung up on the sound.

Trembling, trying, I'm not sure --

try to say what you haven't heard,

the weight of the words slowing me down.

I don't know how I'm going to tell you...
