Couldn't I Just Tell You

Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didn't have to make me feel like a fool
When I try to say I feel the way that I do
I want to talk to you
And make it load and clear
Though you don't care to hear

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel
I cant keep it bottled up inside
Could we pretend that its no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide

Something sure doesn't seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu
Why cant I talk with you
And put it in your ear though you don't care to hear

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel
I cant keep it bottled up inside
Could we pretend that its no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide

Hear me out
Why don't you lend me an ear
Hear me out
You've got no reason to fear
Hear me out
I'll make it perfectly clear
I love you

I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve
I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if its true
I got to talk with you
And then I'll make it clear
Make it clear
Make it clear

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel
I cant keep it bottled up inside
Could we pretend that its no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel
I cant keep it bottled up inside
Could we pretend that its no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide
