Ten Thousand Words

Ten Thousand Words

Try to open your eyes.
There's something I want to say.
It's four fifteen and I've been lying here awake.

I've got ten thousand words
I want to try and say to you
I'm not ashamed to say that I can't piece together
I, Love and you.

If I had the strength of a thousand men.
If I had that strength I would open up my heart,.

I should let you sleep.
I couldn't seem to get my courage up.
I'd just fumble with the words
Until it's time for you to get up

If I had the strength of a thousand men.
If I had that strength I would open up my heart,.

Sometimes I wish that phrase would go away
It's the thing that I can't bring myself to say,
to you.
But after you're asleep I can whisper in your ear.
"I love you."

If I had the strength of a thousand men.
If I had that strength I would open up my heart,.

..and let you look in.
