Maybe you've noticed how I linger by the door
Looking for ways to hang around
I never felt my moment ever show itself before
But I've got to speak or lose you now

[Chorus]
This is my confession
I bare my soul to you
This is my confession
The one thing I can do
How will I ever make you mine
If you don't know that I'm alive
I confess to you
My love for you

He'll never say the words I've rehearsed a million times
Or stop your tears before they fall
He'll never even try to put his thoughts of you in rhymes
His heart is barely there at all

[Chorus]

I have always believed somehow
I'd be standing right here before you now
Hoping the last breath I take
I take in your arms

[Chorus]
