8 Letters

[Verse 1]

You know me the best, you know my worst

See me hurt, but you don't judge

That, right there, is the scariest feeling

Opening and closing up again

I've been hurt so I don't trust

Now here we are, staring at the ceiling

[Pre-Chorus]

I've said those words before but it was a lie

And you deserve to hear them a thousand times

[Chorus]

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters

Why am I in my own way?

Why do I pull you close

And then ask you for space

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

[Verse 2]

Isn't it amazing

How almost every line on our hands align

When your hand's in mine

It's like I'm whole again

Isn't that a sign?

I should speak my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

I've said those words before but it was a lie

And you deserve to hear them a thousand times

[Chorus]

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters

Why am I in my own way?

Why do I pull you close

And then ask you for space

If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?
