Show you

I hear you when you say it.

I just don't feel it land.

I'm not asking for more words.

I'm asking for your hands.

I put it in a text,

I put it in a call I say it in the morning,

say it through the wall I'm doing all the things that I

was told to do But somehow doing all of it ain't getting

through to you You nod your head and smile,

but the smile don't reach your eyes And I can see you

slipping right in front of me tonight I mean it when I

say it, every single time But meaning it don't carry when it

never cross the line

I grew up in a house with no feelings

Where love was a roof and a ceiling

We never passed it around,

we just kept it inside So I never learned the way to

let somebody inside I try to give you everything I know how

to give Show up,

stay loyal, work so we can live But you need the kind

of love that don't come from a check And I don't know

how to give you what I never really had

I'm saying it, I'm saying it,

I swear I'm not lying But saying it and proving it are

two different islands I was raised to stand tall,

never let 'em see you crack

Now I'm watching you pull it all back And I'd trade anything

to make you feel it in your chest But I don't know

the moves, I don't know what's left So I'm trying in the

dark in my own crooked way And I hope one day you

feel what I can't say

I know I do.

I just...

don't know how to show it.
