"Say It Back" lyrics

"Say It Back"

I'm so scared of fucking this up
But I think that we should try
And I've always wanted this
So maybe tonight, yeah
You could come over
And I could look you in the eye

And say that I love you
And I want you to say it back, yeah
I love you
And I want you to say it back

I know it's not perfect
But nothing really is
And I think it's worth it
For us to try something like this
And maybe we're assholes
And we'll drive each other mad

But I love you
And I want you to say it back, yeah
Babe, I just love you
And I want you to say it back

I wanna say that I miss you
And that I'm all choked up
I wanna say, "Don't talk to me
'Til you can give me what I want"
I wanna say that I'm happy
But we both know that I'm not

I wanna say I love you
And I want you to say it back, yeah
I just love you
And I want you to say it back

How long is too long
To wait for love?
I've heard folks wait a lifetime
And it wasn't long enough
Babe, and it ain't no secret
That I'm pretty fucking dumb

So I say I love you
And hope that you say it back, yeah
I just love you
Even if you never say it back, yeah
I'll always love you
Say it back, babe
I just love you
And I want you to say it back
(Say it back)
