"Tongue Tied" lyrics

I've been feeling lonely
Lately I'm misunderstood
I need you to hold me
I need you to listen
And if only I could speak my truth
If I wasn't so scared to open up to you

I'm just so scared
If I say the wrong thing
I'll end up on my own
We're lying next to each other
But we're home alone
Talk about everything
Except the things we should
It's easier to just ignore
And pretend that we're good
Pretend that we're good

I can't find the right words
I know you wish I would
Maybe my tears are speaking louder than I ever could
Felt this way forever
It's just a part of me
You said to open up to you
And I know that I should
I wish that I could

I've been feeling lonely
Lately I'm misunderstood
I've been sinking slowly
Just like you knew I would
Wonder if you hear me
When I call out to you? (Call out to you)
Your silence was our downfall
Was that all you could do?
Saying nothing's easy
I'd rather you would just be cruel (Just be cruel)
Reach out to me while you still have the chance

Every word I say, another mistake
The first word that comes to my mouth
The last I should say
I can't bear the empty space in the passenger seat
Without you sitting next to me
What am I without you sitting next to me?

If I say the wrong thing
I'll end on my own
We're lying next to each other
But we're home alone
Talk about everything
Except the things we should
If it's easy to pretend
I hope that we're good
