Honestly, honesty's hard for me
I'm past the part where my heart wants to leave
Can't move my feet, usually run for my life
And it's scaring the hell out of me here tonight

Maybe I'll say it
I love you
Maybe too early to get off my chest
Maybe it's sooner than we'd both expect
So I guess it could wait
But don't wait if you do
Maybe I'll say it
I love you

What if what's real to you is real to me
Goes up in flames and we're burned third degree?
We could just play it off like we're both guns for hire
'Cause saying the word is like playing with fire

Maybe I'll say it
I love you
Maybe too early to get off my chest
Maybe it's sooner than we'd both expect
So I guess it could wait
But don't wait if you do
Maybe I'll say it
I love you

What if what's real to you is real to me
Goes up in flames and we're burned third degree?
We could just play it off like we're both guns for hire
'Cause saying the word is like playing with fire

Maybe I'll say it
I love you
Maybe too early to get off my chest
Maybe it's sooner than we'd both expect
So I guess it could wait
But don't wait if you do
Maybe I'll say it
I love you

What if what's real to you is real to me
Goes up in flames and we're burned third degree?
We could just play it off like we're both guns for hire
