You know me the best

You know my worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge

That, right there, is the scariest feeling

Opening and closing up again

I've been hurt so I don't trust

Now here we are, staring at the ceiling

I've said those words before but it was a lie

And you deserve to hear them a thousand times

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters

Why am I in my own way?

Why do I pull you close

And then ask you for space

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

Isn't it amazing how almost every line on our hands align

When your hands are mine

It's like I'm whole again, isn't that a sign

I've said those words before but it was a lie

And you deserve to hear them a thousand times

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters

Why am I in my own way?

Why do I pull you close

And then ask you for space?

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say? (whoa oh, yeah)

When I close my eyes

It's you there in my mind

When I close my eyes

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters

Why am I in my own way?

Why do I pull you close

And then ask you for space

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters

When I close my eyes

It's you there in my mind (It's only you)

When I close my eyes

If all it is is eight letters

When I close my eyes

It's you there in my mind (you)

When I close my eyes

If all it is is eigh
