Out Loud

[Verse 1] First thing you should know about me I've always been a man of my word Secondly please know that I take everything For what it's worth [Pre-Chorus 1] Now it's 3 a.m. and the bars are all closed And you come over alone 'Cause you were just thinking of me Saying how since we've been together The world has been so much better Then you lean over and tell me you love me [Chorus] You've been patiently awaiting For me to say it, say it out loud And I want to, 'cause I want you But I need time, time to come around [Post-Chorus] 'Cause when I tell you everything I'm feeling Every word is straight from my heart If I speak it, best believe it That I mean it, if I say it out loud [Verse 2] I've been there before I took it way too fast Hardest lesson I ever learned Know you can throw it out and take it back It's such an easy way to get burned [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, I want the best for you I got so much respect for you I will never hurt you, my dear I'm now trying to build this trust And I don't wanna fill it up With the things that you think you want to hear [Chorus] You've been patiently awaiting For me to say it, say it out loud And I want to, 'cause I want you But I need time, time to come around [Post-Chorus] 'Cause when I tell you everything I'm feeling Every word is straight from my heart If I speak it, best believe it That I mean it, if I say it out loud [Bridge] Three little words, three little words Three little words, so complicated Three little words, three little words Three little words, so complicated [Chorus] You've been patiently awaiting (Awaiting) For me to say it, say it out loud And I want to (Ooh), 'cause I want you But I need time, time to come around (Come around) [Post-Chorus] 'Cause when I tell you everything I'm feeling (Ooh) Every word is straight from my heart (Heart) If I speak it, best believe it That I need it, if I say it out loud (Loud) [Outro] Now it's patiently awaiting For me to say it, if I say it out loud
