I've got a way with words 
That I hide under my breath 
I've got away with so much 
I'll keep from all the rest 
I'm looking for the ear 
I can whisper this into 
I try to pull you near 
But you always slip right through 

I look around and see 
The ones I think I know 
And then I look at me 
The one I've never really known 
It's funny how the world becomes 
The changes in myself 
It's funny how I see my face 
On everybody else 

And all the little things 
I shouldn't say in song 
And all the pretty ones 
I shouldn't string along 
And the one that I have 
And the one that I need 
I always seem to fall between 

I'm trying to believe 
In another point of view 
But I don't know myself 
So how can I know you 
I hope to keep in mind 
Everyone I love 
But I am so afraid 
That it's me I'm thinking of 

And all the little things 
I shouldn't say in song 
And all the pretty ones 
I shouldn't string along 

And the one that I have 
And the one that I need 
I always seem to fall between 

And all the little things 
I shouldn't say in song 
And all the pretty ones 
I shouldn't string along 
And the one that I am 
And the one that I'll be 
I always seem to fall between
