[verse 1]:

i hope somebody tells you these words some day
and i hope that they fell in love with you the same way
oh i did oh i did oh i did
no

try not to make this complicated
but its getting too hard, so maybe i can fake it oh
you can find me in the back row
stumbling over these things
that i think that you should know
the distance is too great
we start to suffocate
you won't hear me now and thats okay
you'll hear me eventually, you'll hear me eventually i hope

[verse 2]:

so is this just how it is
we fight, we love, we miss
but not each other
can i live with this
do i have, i have a choice
if you can't hear my voice oh
late night texts, our biggest regrets
staring you back in the face
i can't keep up this pace
if i love you is that so bad

[chorus]:

i hope somebody tells you these words some day
and i hope that they fell in love with you the same way
oh i did oh i did oh i did
no
try not to make this complicated
but its getting too hard so maybe i can fake it oh
the distance is too great
we start to suffocate
you won't hear me now and that's okay
you'll hear me eventually, yeah you'll hear me eventually

[verse 3]:

stop and give me just a minute to breathe
i think I'd like a kiss before you leave
but your lips they just weren't meant for me
and your heart's where it's supposed to be
if i could i would take it all back
but not loving you is a skill i lack
so i sit here scribbling away
writing poems filled with words i never say
trust me, my love, you will hear them soon
but for now i converse with the moon

[chorus]:

i hope somebody tells you these words some day
and i hope that they fell in love with you the same way
oh i did oh i did oh i did
no
try not to make this complicated
but its getting too hard so maybe i can fake it oh
the distance is too great
we start to suffocate
you won't hear me now and that's okay
you'll hear me eventually, yeah you'll hear me eventually

[bridge]:

i have a stack of letters addressed you
and there's nothing left to do
oh i hope they're holding you tightly
because I'm missing you nightly
oh i hope they're holding you tightly
the way i never could
because I'm missing you nightly
the way i knew I would
