To Tell You

(album: Loveletterbombs - 2005)

With our goodbye somewhat shy of definition
And your last words still unheard though I listen
But all these dreams won't wait for me so I hold you
Here in my heart and there you are when I need you

And if my last breath soon escapes me
And takes me to my next destination
Rest assured when it leaves my lips
It will whisper your name

I have to tell you this
I have to tell you

All of these gifts I gave with none in return
Still this girl's not through chasing you when will I learn
To just set you free let this be what it turns into
And hope that still there'll be room for me somewhere in you

And if my last breath soon escapes me
And takes me to my next destination
Rest assured when it leaves my lips
It will whisper your name

I have to tell you this
I have to tell you this
My heart is bottomless
And I have to tell you
