I've put my pencil to the paper,

Writing the words for you to see,

Of all the things I wanted you to hear,

All of it from me.

But I guess I didn't have the courage to tell you,

I guess I didn't have the heart,

I guess I didn't want to watch you read it then fall apart.

But it's written now, everything I wanted to say,

It's out in the open,

Where I'd always hoped it'd stay.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you,

I'm sorry you might've had doubts.

I guess I was just looking for a way-

Looking for a way out.
